Holy crap! I love Century, buy from them all the time, but I’d be lucky to get 1000 rds. for $150, let alone double that for half!

I couldn’t read this idiot’s missive. When he started equating the 7.62x39 to a mankiller vs. a .454 Casull, which packs a wallop by comparison, I knew I was dealing with an ignorant ninny.

454 Casull will emit a 240 gr (16 g) XTP JHP at a muzzle energy of 1,923 ft·lbf.

7.62x39 is 123 gr at a muzzle energy of 1,560 ft·lbf. So you get 75% of the muzzle energy and five times the mag capacity, plus the ability to quickly switch mags.

Yes, .454 Casull has enormous recoil IN A HANDGUN, due to felt recoil being proportional to the ratio of the bullet weight to the gun weight for a given muzzle velocity, and that makes it impressive to shoot.
