Thank you csherrill and billa. I appreciate the insight.

Billa - I've considered the SRH .454 as well and may very well go that route instead. Still not sure.

I'm an experienced handgunner as well and haven't ever been recoil sensitive, so the .460 doesn't really give me any hesitation to speak of. The fact that it's big and heavy are two reasons I'm drawn to it. And as crazy as this sounds, I kind-of dig a handful of recoil.

The meat won't fry if the lead don't fly.
