Having owned the 454 Casull in a BFR, the 480 Ruger and now the 460 in a S&W 8-3/8ths, I love my 460!!! I got rid of the BFR cause of the wrist snap from the cartridge. The 480 cause thats all I could shoot out of it and loading it down really did nothing. I now own the 460 and can shoot 45 Long Colt, 45 Schofield, 454 casull, 460 S&W and 410 rounds all in the same pistol and in the cylinder at the same time!!!!! Load for the 500 as well, nice round, just not the versatility of the 460. I as well have several 44 mags to shoot lighter loads. Don't care if the gun is heavy, I shoot it off sticks when hunting, have a scope on it.
