The Federal P454XB1 Premium ammunition delivers maximum terminal performance for 454 Casull revolvers through Barnes Expander BRX technology. This premium hunting cartridge combines Federal's precision manufacturing with Barnes' proven copper bullet design for reliable expansion and deep penetration on large game.
What Makes This Different
The Barnes Expander BRX bullet features a solid copper construction with engineered expansion petals that create devastating wound channels while retaining 99% of its weight. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment, this all-copper design maintains structural integrity for consistent performance through heavy bone and muscle. The 250-grain projectile achieves optimal velocity from revolver barrels while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics.

This ammunition excels in hunting applications where deep penetration and controlled expansion are critical. The solid copper construction eliminates lead fouling while the BRX design expands reliably at revolver velocities. Field testing shows consistent 1.5x diameter expansion with straight-line penetration through heavy game. The cartridge performs effectively on elk, bear, and other large North American game at ranges up to 100 yards.
