the 300gr Hornady XTP's @ 1850fps are what I shoot from my 454...infact thats my deer load. These loads dont bother me at all, I sometimes shoot 40 or 60 at one sitting. I thought that same thing too about a 500 Max, one could work up loads until one reaches full power instead of starting off with full power. I think maybe having already shot a good number of big revolvers this shouldnt be too much of a surprise. Why do all these big revolvers have short barrels? I like long barrels, its why I got my 454 with the 9.5" barrel. By the way that is a very fine looking gun you have there.
