@carlhurley

What loads do you shoot?

What's the accuracy like?

How do you cope with the noise?

Cheers

accuracy is good they are ment to be able with the right loads shot out to 200 m without adjusting the sight picture not much more noise than the 44magnum loads that are using are 42gns 296 with 240gn hornady xtp mag and 415 gr cast with 28gn 296

No worries ..... I have plenty of w296 and 240grxtps

p38 need to make sure that you use the xtp mag rather that the standard xtp they will delaminate at the faster speeds

Good advise

it is good fun shooting 45 colt out of this gun to get used to it before going to the bigger loads also cheaper

That's one of the characteristics that's drawing me to this revolver.

One is I need an X Frame for my Smith & Wesson collection.

The other is the versatility of the 460 , being able to shoot 45colt, 454 casull and 460 magnum.

The bonus is I already have 45 Colt brass and dies.

If we could legally hunt with a pistol I would have one tomorrow

read an article by a forestry ranger in usa that had shot aprox 1500 bears doing his job said that the 240 xtpmag load out of the 460 stopped everything
