I haven’t shot the 460 but I have shot 6 rounds through an S&W 500.
Let’s just say that I am at that point in life that I get 3 or 4 letters from AARP each week and I want to keep shooting even after AARP quits hitting on me.
Those 6 rounds were enough. I shoot mostly big bore stuff. 45 Colt, 44 mag, special and a lot of that. To be truthful I didn’t mind the recoil as much as what effect is has on my wrist and elbow.
Now if Ruger made the 77/44 in 460 or 500 I would own one in a second.
Recoil can be addictive and fun but keep in mind the effect it has on you. Shoot a couple of cylinders full and then hold your hand out. If your hand is shaking you have affected the nerves in your hand and arm.
But man, have fun, and taking it out to an empty range to let it go, that was good of you.
