Just took delivery of a 7.5-inch .454 SRH to test and after one range session, I am fairly impressed. The barrel is different on this one. There seems to be no taper to it at all. With factory Federal ammo (300 grain), I shot a 5-shot group of one-inch at 25 yards, and a 1.5-inch 5-shot group at 50 yards off the bench with an Ultradot 30 on top. So far so good. Can't wait to test it further.

This picture clearly shows the difference in barrel diameter at the front of the barrel (and the different crown) -- the new SRH is on the left, and older one in Target Gray on the right.



This is the 25 yard target and second cylinder of ammo I put through it.
