Never shot a 454. But I did get to shoot a 500 S&W magnum one day, when someone brought one to the range.
It was unpleasant.
I shot one too and fully agree with you, nasty round. I suppose it would be much tamer with 500 special or just loaded down a bit. For range work, who cares except sight in again. I'd shot 44 special thru 44mags. They shot high, significantly high. I looked into it. 44 special is so much slower it has more time in the barrel and is affected by recoil more than a fast 44mag.
