.454 Magnum

early

November 1959

Casull shooting 2.5 gallon water cans one handed, no ears/eyes protection.
Triplex loads of Unique 2400 & Bullseye. Canister powders like W296/H110 were not available.
Guns used were hand made and/or rebuilt Colt SAA's.
Picked up this magazine and few others @ the local flea market. Very interesting reading.

Those are awesome pictures. I have a couple Great Outdoors magazines from 1965. I love to look through them and see guns advertised shipped right to your door.

Yes Ackley improved cartidges. Some more improved than others.
I believe Mr Casull also apprenticed with Ackley.
