Thanks everybody! I settled on .454, sighted in with Hornady .454 Casull 240 grns yesterday, was really happy with it, was hitting the center diamond at 50 yds with a benchrest, 1 - 2 inch groups, no problem, and I know I was gettin tired towards the 2 inch groups. And this was just the first time really trying to hit anything specific (instead of just popping off for fun/feel). The .460's will definitely come in to play next time I sight in...
