Taurus Raging Hntr 454 6.75" 5-Round Revolver

The Taurus Raging Hunter 454 Casull with 6.75-inch barrel is a purpose-built magnum revolver engineered for serious handgun hunting and long-range field applications. This model earned the 2019 American Hunter Handgun of the Year Golden Bullseye Award, recognizing its innovative engineering, reliability, and value proposition for hunters who demand a capable large-caliber platform. The 454 Casull cartridge delivers exceptional stopping power and energy retention at extended distances, making it a preferred choice for hunters pursuing medium to large game where precision and raw power are non-negotiable.

The 6.75-inch barrel strikes a critical balance between velocity development—essential for the 454 Casull to achieve its ballistic potential—and practical field handling. Sleeved barrel construction provides structural rigidity under high-pressure loads, while factory-tuned porting reduces muzzle rise and aids in recoil management. A gas-expansion chamber further mitigates muzzle flip, enabling faster target reacquisition between shots. Ergonomic considerations include exceptional balance achieved through lightweight barrel housing and cushioned insert grips that reduce hand fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The five-round capacity reflects the magnum revolver design philosophy: each round is loaded for maximum effectiveness rather than volume.

This platform is purpose-built for hunters who prioritize terminal ballistics and shooting accuracy over rapid-fire capability. The 454 Casull platform excels in open-country hunting scenarios where long-range precision is required and shot placement is paramount. Weighing 4 pounds, the Raging Hunter remains manageable for extended field use while maintaining the mass necessary for recoil control in a magnum revolver. Serious handgun hunters, precision shooters, and those seeking a dedicated hunting revolver in a powerful cartridge will find the specifications and design directly aligned with their operational requirements.
