Mine sure is !!!! First off an excellent choice in the 454. You can get ammo nearly anywhere. I do like the 454 and wanted to say that the Barnes performs well, and has taken several animals.
It is lighter than the Swift, and therefore a little less recoil. Swift that I use is the 300gr.
I never actually owned a Super Redhawk. But, I shot a few and I have to admit that there is Less FELT recoil with Rugers new choice in Rubber grip.

The BFR and its odd looking grip WORKS !!! I did not feel the recoil much when shooting a 500JRH. You will be getting a short cylinder with the 454, so a long jump will not be happening.
I have not had problems handloading for the 454. I have started with new components. Also, When Budsgunshop has the Federal 300gr on sale and free shipping,,
I don't worry too much about rolling my own.
