Sounds like a gun that will kill on one end and wound on the other ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

| 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! |

Holy'ist CHIT Guys,,,,them ain't guns,,,them are in the elephant killin class,,,,I'm like ole Shameless,,I would dang sure want to have a nice big azzed Oak tree behind me,,,with the gun bolted down to a good sized Wilton 100# vise with the vise chained down to the ground,,,, I'm 5'-9 5/16 but think I'll stick to my little ole 9MM with it's 28 shot clip,,,,, But then again,,,I hunt Deer and Elk with a 7MM Remington Magnum,,,,,

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?  ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

pre-emptive triage! Just curious, does that gun come on wheels? tow behind? ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

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. ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

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. |
