learning to accurately shoot any magnum revolver takes practice, its a learned skill,
I recently spent some time at a local range with a buddy that I handload his 500 mag for ,
who purchased and uses a 7.5" barrel 500 S&W revolver.
he claims it much easier to shoot that a ruger single action 6.5" bisley 454 cassul he owns
we found that the lee 440 grain, 50 cal,gas check bullet mold throws a projectile thats about 470 grain weight
I found that 22 grains of blue dot powder is under that projectile very consistently accurate.
at the local range we temporarily exchanged revolvers thus allowing both of us to try out the other guys revolver
the 500 S&W he owns is certainly consistently accurate, but its rather massive heavy and I doubt a beginning handgun enthusiast,
would be able to handle the recoil or hit anything past 20 yards except by luck.
it takes frequent practice to master a magnum revolver like a 445 dwsm , 454 casull or 500 mag,
if you want to place shots in lets ,say a 5"-6" max group size youll want to maintain at 100 yards to remain consistently effective,
and thats not nearly as easy shooting from feild positions as it is off a bench rest at a range.
he found my 44 mag revolver quite accurate and has decided to start looking for a similar revolver.
I let several of the guys at the range who showed interest shoot my 445 DWSM and my friend did something similar,

allowing several guys try a few shots with his 500 mag, it was obvious that neither revolver was something a less experienced person,
would easily master, in fact even my 44 mag seemed to be pushing past the limits most guys were comfortable with,

as even at 50 yards most of the guys who tried to shoot groups were not impressing anyone with the results.

with any decent quality hunting revolver, youll need a durable functional holster

but you can certainly improve results with constant practice.

btw I have shot 150-160 lb hogs in the chest with that 44 mag 310 grain hard cast lee bullet over 21 grains of h110 powder.
and have the projectiles exit the hogs ham so lack of penetration is not a problem
I use a 95% ww alloy and 5% pure tin alloy.
Ive used the same lead alloy in the 500 mag over 22 grains of blue dot, and got good results
