The Taurus Raging Hunter 454 Casull delivers devastating stopping power in a precision-engineered platform built for serious hunting applications. This large-frame revolver combines the raw energy of the 454 Casull cartridge with Taurus's refined engineering to create a handgun capable of taking down large game at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The Raging Hunter stands apart from standard hunting revolvers through its specialized porting system and advanced grip design. The 5.12-inch ported barrel reduces felt recoil by up to 25% compared to non-ported alternatives, while the integrated red cushion insert grip absorbs additional recoil energy. The matte black oxide finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, maintaining its appearance through harsh hunting conditions.
Key Features
- 454 Casull chambering with 5-round capacity for maximum stopping power
- 5.12-inch ported barrel reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil
- Matte black oxide steel construction resists corrosion and wear
- Integrated red cushion insert grip system absorbs recoil energy
- Adjustable rear sight and fiber optic front sight for precision aiming
- Heavy-duty frame construction rated for high-pressure magnum loads

Field performance centers on the 454 Casull's ability to deliver over 1,800 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. The ported barrel design maintains accuracy while managing the substantial recoil inherent to this cartridge. Hunters report effective performance on elk, bear, and other large game at ranges extending beyond typical handgun distances. The robust construction handles steady diets of full-power loads without mechanical issues.
