I rented a S&W 460 5inch barrels recently while out on the West Coast; had seen an article about the 460 and 500 S&W mags and thought I'd try it out. The 460 appears more versatile because of the different loadings you can shoot through it (45 Colt, 454 Casull, and 460 S&W Mag). I can tell you this; recoil with this load is very manageable (more than I thought it would be), and accuracy is 5-7 inches offhand at 25 yds (about as good as I can shoot) without a rest. After the first two shots I turned around to my buddy to get his reaction, and ALL the shooters from the other lanes were gathered behind us wide-eyed! Needless to say, we went through a box of 20 in no time. This guy's a real hoot to shoot, and I have no doubt it would drop a big whitetail buck in his tracks. Barrel's about the right size, and grips help manage the recoil. The muzzle blast actually thumps your chest noticeably; double up on hearing protection.....
