Default RE: Best Handgun for hunting?

BigCountry,
That'ssuper good shootin' for a wheel gun. Better than I can do with my old 29.Being able to hit a pie plate isn't exactly precision shooting though. 1.5" @ 200 yds would be acceptable.
And, @ 200 yds that 460 S&Wbullet has got at best 800 pounds of energy. You could stop that with an average dictionary, or a deer's shoulder. A 308 or 30-284 outof a handgunhas still got 1200+pounds @ that range.
