    Default Just for comparison..........

    Got a couple boxes of the new 460 S&W today.

    Sure dosen't look like something you'd be stuffing into a revolver.



    From left to right...

    300 Rem Ultra Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, 500S&W Mag, the 460 S&W and last a paultry little .45acp.

    Now if I can get my ducks in a row and get one of the guns I'll be all set to start destroying my wrists......

    Smith & Wesson introduced the 460 Mag. this year. I gotta think that this caliber would cover anything you're likely to encounter here in North America......

    That thing should be sweet in the Encore. No cylinder gap, 15" barrel, and ya better have a stout scope.

    This ammo is quite abit cheaper than the 500 was when it first came out.

    The stuff I got was from Midway Supply for $19.95 / 20 rounds.

    Muzzle velocity should be somewhere around 2150-2200 fps with the 200gr bullet.
