All .454s and .480s, new and old, have two loading options and a tube that threads into the receiver instead of just holding with a pin. They also have an OEM padded butt.
Here's an older Puma version of the .454 I fixed up.

I bought a new 454 Casull around Thanksgiving last year that only offers loading through the side gate.

I stand corrected.

Same with my Sep 2023 purchase. It looks like Rossi might be doing away with the removable mag tube.

Not going to lie, I was really hoping for the option to load both ways

Re: 454 casull worth importing?
- Do you reload, or is 454 Casull readily available, for you?
- Do you need the extra power, over the 44 Mag?
BUT: Have you thought about a 45/70 instead?
Ammo is likely more available, and it can be loaded much harder, than the 454 Casull.
Happy Shooting from Greenland

Re: 454 casull worth importing?
wish i could have found one with both options of loading. But I bought mine new about 4 months ago, being they are so hard to find anywhere mine has the Kings Gate option only, But I Love the punch that thing gives.
