+1 on the 460 XVR. Similar power at full loads as the 500, but also lets you shoot the 454 Casull (which is a great round) and the 45 Colt (another fine round).

As to what you can do with all that power? For one, if you're in brown bear country then more power is absolutely better. Ditto if you hunt truly big game (people who says its all about bullet placement forget that not every shot is perfect, and more horsepower gives you more latitude for imperfect shots). And the 460 Mag is just a fine gun and a lot of fun to shoot. But so is the Casull. I have both a 460 XVR and Rugers in 480 and 454. The 454 gets more range time than the others but all three are fine calibers and fine guns. Price-wise, the 460 cost twice as much as the 480, and the 454 was half way between. So, that ought to be a factor as well.
