I knew I was going to buy one or the other. I rented both the .460 and the .500. Prior to these sessions, the biggest handgun I had shot was a .44 magnum. If you have the opportunity, you should test both before deciding.

I found out that I could handle the recoil on the .460 much better, so I decided to buy one of the 460 Performance Center models. The biggest, most accurate gun in the world is of little use if you can't handle it.

I don't have the time to reload and haven't had the need for the specialized characteristics available in reloads, so I just use off-the-shelf 200 grain ammunition for both hunting and target shooting. Heck, I don't even reload 45 ACP anymore, even though I have all the reloading equipment for it and I shoot that caliber the most.

I haven't used any of the other ammunition types that the 460 is capable of. My brother-in-law gifted me with a box of 45 Long Colt but I haven't used it.
