Frequently Asked Questions
Taurus Raging Bull .454 Casull for sale
Is Taurus Raging Bull being discontinued?
Taurus has discontinued the Raging Bull .500 models, but other calibers such as the .44 Magnum remain available as new inventory, so the entire line has not been fully discontinued. Used inventory also appears across secondary markets, with four variants currently listed across eleven retailers, typically priced around $964.
Is the raging bull a good gun?
Raging Bull revolvers are well-regarded for hunting and defense. Users praise the weight, muzzle brake, and manageable recoil in heavy calibers. Build quality trails some competitors, but performance is generally reliable. Four variants run $620–$1,381. Suitability depends on intended use and recoil tolerance.
What are the common problems with the Taurus raging bull?
Users report early cylinder wear and looseness, drag marks on cylinder notches, and side wiggle at rest. End shake exceeding spec has prompted gunsmith visits. Quality control inconsistency across production batches is a recurring complaint.
Can I shoot 44 Mag out of 454 Casull?
No. .44 Magnum and .454 Casull use different bullet diameters and are not interchangeable. However, .454 Casull revolvers can fire .45 Long Colt ammunition, since the two share the same bullet diameter. Only shoot calibers marked on your barrel, and consult your manufacturer regarding .45 Long Colt compatibility.
Can you hunt deer with 454 Casull?
Yes. .454 Casull delivers sufficient power for deer hunting. Hunters report success with 240–265 grain loads at ranges up to 200 yards. Proper bullet selection and shot placement matter most. Recoil is substantial, so practice beforehand.
How bad is the recoil on a 454 Casull?
Recoil is substantial—significantly more than a .44 Magnum. Heavier revolvers with longer barrels reduce felt recoil. Full-power loads from a lightweight gun can cause real discomfort or even injury with repeated shooting. Most shooters adapt with practice, and .45 Colt loads offer a milder alternative.
What is the difference between Taurus raging bull and raging hunter?
The Raging Hunter (2019) features a ported barrel, aluminum shroud for reduced weight, and an integrated Picatinny rail for optics. The original Raging Bull has a heavier stainless steel shroud and no rail. Both are large-frame revolvers chambered in magnum calibers, but the Hunter targets modern hunting applications.
Which Taurus revolver is the best?
"Best" depends on your needs. The Raging Bull excels for hunting and defense in magnum calibers like .454 Casull and .44 Magnum, with good recoil management. For general shooting, the Model 66 or 605 are solid choices. Raging Bull variants typically sell around $964, ranging $621–$1,381.
