l have a 10 1/2'' PC 460 like 45MAN and just love the BIG BOOMER.
A friend of mine on the S&W Forum took a BISON with his 460PC in
Wyoming a couple years ago.. l have ''KILLED'' quite a few STEEL
critters with mine at a couple LHMSA silhouette matches. The flat
trajectory of those 460 slugs is unbelievable. 2000fps is DOUBLE
the velocity of a 44Magnum l usually shoot. I don't care much for
the 200gr FTX ammo by Hornady. My favorite full power loads are
225FTX 45 Colt bullets... For reduced loads @ 1500fps those 225s
are still shooting pretty flat. Were l to hunt with my 460 it
would be Federals' 275gr ammo using the Barnes copper bullet.
l have a Leupold 4x EER scope mounted on the barrel.. Never any
problems after maybe a thousand rounds.. l just check the mount
screws during cleaning. 2 cautions l learned the HARD way. One
is shoot full length cases only Shorter 45 Colt cases cause ME
problems depositing carbon.. l have also had lots of split cases
with Hornady brass.. NONE with the Federal brass l now use.
lts a HEAVY LOUD GUN. Finest made S&W revolver available. Much
better than Freedom Arms at half the price. imhop
