+1 to Kayaker.

My buddy and I had a range trip scheduled this last weekend, but we got there too late to shoot at the range, so we went on up the mountain so he could check it out.

I shot a cylinder of .45 colt, then let him shot the same. Then a cylinder of .454 Casull, let him do the same. Then a cylinder of .460

When I touched off the first one, my buddy freaked "Dude!! There was fire everywhere!! Dude, I could feel the blast over here!! Dude!!" ad infinitum.

I like the .460 a lot more than the .454 to shoot out of it. The .454 really snaps to me, the .460 is just a big push straight back.

It is a serious round. What I can't wrap my mind around is the .460 or the.500 in a stubby...I just can't imagine that is any fun
