But after looking at them both, I know the next rung up the ladder would be an 8 3/8's .460 XVR for me. Devasting speed/velocity. Flat. Fastest round in the handgun world, right? Or something like that. I know sure as s--t it would do the job on anything I could lay the sights on at LONG WAY off. And I don't see a safari hunt for White Rhuno in my near future. U think the .460 gets over-looked a little, in the great 'magnum supremacy' discussion. But this is merely my suggestion and opinion. Your world.
This is something I hear a lot. Like the old 270- 06 issue. As with the rifle, when the projectiles weigh the same the 500 is always faster. You must not get caught up in the apples and oranges thing. A 500 that weighs the same as a 460 is faster. It's about case capacity.
