        That's how they work- AND interchange calibers.

            The way some gunshop clerks spout off, you'd think that they invented gunpowder and the repeating rifle, and sat on the Supreme Court as well.

                    Okay -- 14 inch SSk Encore versus 8 3/8" S&W .460 SW magnum --



                    Chrono? 400 FPS loss in that four inches of barrel and barrel cylinder gap



                    With lighter factory loads the Revolver was easier to shoot -- easier to hold --



                    with the heaviest factory loads and some primer flattening handloads at around 2600 fps, the Encore was the choice.

                        And remember, the S&W revolver also will shoot 454 Casull (they were like shooting 44 specials in 44 mag) and even 45 Long COlt ammo. The gun that does it all!
