Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 460 in the Smith X-frames?

I am going to kind of buck the trend here. I have the 460 X-frame with the 14 1/2" barrel. I used it last year for deer hunting and was pleased with it's performance. I got a large doe on opening evening. 1 shot and she dropped within 30 yards. I was using handloaded 300gr XTP magnums.
My revolver has a bipod and is scoped with a Leupold.
Yes, it is quite a gun to shoot and the muzzle blast is something else. When I am shooting it I wear both ear plugs and ear muffs. The recoil from this revolver is not much more than my 44 magnum S&W.
I am not saying this is a revolver for everyone, but I do enjoy shooting mine. I will be using it for deer hunting again this year.
