My raging bull 454 was ported factory, definitely louder then unported. Next one is going to be a super red hawk in 454 or a smith 460 so I can utilize my 454 dies and brass ect since the Taurus only made it through 20 of the 100 I had loaded.
What happened to the Taurus? I have a Raging Hunter in .44mag and I have no interest in going back to a Ruger Redhawk.
Well the timing went out and it split a bullet on the forcing cone blowing the barrel open, first they tried to blame it on my uncles reloads but I took pictures and showed them how it kept getting more off center with every round of that cylinder full. First one was on center then further and further off till just hit edge of primer on last round that blew barrel. Sent it in they “fixed” it and sent it back. When I got it back the barrel was so crooked that the front sight blade went across the opening in the rear sight at an angle. They claim they check an test fire every gun before sending back. Told them they should fire whoever qc’d my pistol, sent it back and they repaired again. When it came I shot one and a half cylinders through it on the second cylinder it locked up i couldn’t cock it get the cylinder to swing out or anything for about 5-10 min but finally it out to remove the last few rounds. Called Taurus and sent it back again they returned it a few weeks later saying it was all fixed. I ran another couple cylinders and same thing happened. Sent back and they said they replaced all the internals in my frame with new in a letter. I felt the action and it felt better than it ever did but buy this time I had no faith and brought it and the letter and traded it for a stainless Blackhawk 44. When I got the 454 it was basically new because an older friend of mine found out it was to much for him and wanted my 10mm tangfolio so traded even up. I’d bet the raging bull didn’t have 200 rounds though it.
