RE: S&W 460 XVR Pistol
Well, I learned one thing this year with mine. One, hearing protection is a must. You have to have some quality game ears that canceles out a shot noise. Two, muzzle flash is extreme. Three, I still can't beleive I can pull off 5" groups at 200 yards with a revolver.
I shot at a doe this year at the edge of dark. I was blind for a whole min or more from the flash. I was deaf, and think I did perm damage to my left ear. Ringing went away about 3 days later.
Its very heavy, and very extreme pistol.
If your a experienced pistol shooter, and have had 454's and ligher 44's, then its a great gun. But if not, its not for a new shooter. I am getting 2100fps with 48gr of H110 and 240gr XTP out of a performance model 10.5" barrel.
