Funny when your testosterone overrides common sense

Fired a SW 460 once. Didn't even finish one full cylinder. I gave it back to the guy and said "I just found out that .44M is my limit. Thanks!"

Now I try to get off the range if a .460 or .500 shows up on the line.

Yup, but some us like the pain, That's why I have a .44 Mag., .454 Casull, .300 Win Mag., 444 Marlin, and am still married after 35 years.

Happy Valentines Day!

Nice!!! Bada Bing!!!!

The .45-70 is low pressure and will make less power than the .500 UNLESS you do custom handloads.

The ported 4" and 8" 500s aren't bad at all. But the 4" wastes power (2.75" effective barrel length), and the 8" is so heavy you may as well carry a .44 carbine.

I went with the 5" unported half underlug 500. It's carryable (~3lbs), makes equivalent power to a 6" (tight barrel gap), and shoots great.

Most people give up after a shot or two. 15-20 is my limit with full power. Plenty good enough for a hunt.

(PS- try a derringer in .45-70 with leverevolution loads. That's some real pain right there. And never try it without the full sized grip. OR if you do, get slow-mo video.)
