In comparison the X frame 500 Smith & Wesson - 440 gr. L.F.N.-G.C.(1,625fps/M.E.2579ft.lbs.) is a sledgehammer in search of a butterfly to kill !

I just got some Underwood's 305grain loaded/spec'd to 1325fps Hard Cast Keith's and damn.. those f-ers pack a wollup from my 3" M629 but are far from uncomfortable.. Unlike the .460 I borrowed a few years back.
I thought Mr. Sundles/Buffalo Bore didn't recommend shooting the 340's from a Smith but only from a Ruger or a DW but I could be mistaken. I know I won't be going heavier than the 305's myself; at 10 yards they started to wreck and pit my AR500 plate!
My most perfectly balanced Revolver, my 3" barreled M29-3
