I likewise have a 460 Smith and Wesson with a 5 inch barrel and variable gag brake.I like its spotless look as well. I utilize the 500 for 500 JRH and the 460 for 454 Casull. Less gag glimmer and still high in execution. I likewise shoot 45 Colt for training in the treatment of the firearm. Wild ox Bore makes a 440 grain 500 JRH running a quiet 950 fps. Makes the 500 Smith and Wesson a great weapon to shoot and still useful for chasing major game.
