What's it shoot?

I have nothing but positives to say about Taurus Revolvers.

What game will you be after?

And of course... How's she shoot?

After owning several revolvers including Taurus, I've never had a better one than the Raging series for hunting. This one is a 460 magnum which also shoots 454 Casull and 45 Long Colt.
It will be used mainly for deer, but any big game is an option. I haven't had time to get it to the range yet, but I will soon.

That will work. Nice set up. I have a Raging Hunter in .44 mag with an 8 3/8" bbl. I also had the same scope on mine as you do but with that longer sight radius I don't need the extra weight. I thought about the 460 but because I have so much 44 ammo I opted for the 44 mag.
I'd really like to know the difference in POI between the 45 colt and 460 if you ever shoot them side by side.

I've shot the .454 and a .480 Ruger. And of course the .44mag(only one I own) but never shot the .460 yet.

I'm sure it's a handful.

Very nice choice, which scope did you get for it?

I received a .500 S&W Mag pistol in 2020 and a Bighorn Armory Model 89 .500 S&W mag in 2022. They are my hunting buddies.

You want to talk about a handful... I had a Magnum Research BFR in .45-70. Shooting 405 gr handloads out of it was a real eye opener!
