Sounds like a gun that will kill on one end and wound on the other

Never heard of the caliber so I looked it up. Stretched .44 magnum. Throws a 300 grain projectile around 1300 to 1500 depending on powder charge versus .44 mag throwing 240 grain same speed. Should be a handful. I had(key word had) a 460 s&w barrel for my Encore. Had to put 3 scope rings on to keep scope zeroed! Recoil was terrible. Finally sold the barrel to a guy from Florida who wanted it to hunt Hogs. I told him if you can hit the hog and hang onto it. Kills at both ends!

Wowsers, my 44mag 6" Blackhawk is way more than enough for me, 6', 235. My 357mag 4" Taurus is just right. Does Mike have a handler with it he brings along?

pre-emptive triage!
Just curious, does that gun come on wheels? tow behind?

Have heard of the .445 super, never fired or even see one. I have a .454 Casull with a 7.5" barrel. Full house loads are a handful! I bought this thing before the .460 Smith came out or might have went that way.

I have just what you got. It is a handful but you can manage with a good grip. If you reload it can be downloaded quite a bit with cast bullets for practice and be a lot of fun. Just don't shoot too many rounds at a time or you could develop a flinch that is tough to quit. Kurt

I suspect that most mortal men would start out withy a healthy flinch, and it would grow from there.

kjs, I use .45 long colts for practice rounds. Cheaper and much less abusive! The .44 Mag. is a real pussycat in comparison, even with stiff hunting loads.
