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.
I know, but just figured I would get your goat today. I was actually shocked when I shot these groups. I have never shot accuracy like this from a revolver and didn't think its possible. Its a performance model with 10.5" barrel. And the good news is when I got these groups, I was so happy I about cryed, cause I got it used scope and all for 1000 dollars.

Its a vain thing for me. I just like wheel guns.
