That's a little like saying "There's nothing a .454 can do that a .44 Mag can't," or "There's nothing a .338 Win Mag can do that a .30-'06 can't." See above post. A 40% increase in muzzle energy and 23% increase in frontal area is NOT trivial, IMO.

That said, the 5" .460 is a great gun, and I have one. But it's not a .500.
