I just ordered a S&W 460 XVR 8.38" barrel. It will be used for 25-50 yards open sights target shooting mainly with 45 colt. I want to get 100 rounds of 460 also. I found the Federal Fusion SP 260gr & Hornady 200gr for the same price. Not sure which to order. Which would be more accurate, Better on recoil? I was told the 200r Hornady would be louder not sure if thats accurate. Thanks in advance.

I've had my 460 with 8 3/8" barrel for just a month or so and have used only Hornady 200 grain FTX rounds in it. Reason for using the Hornady's is that these were the only available option in my area. The recoil is very manageable and using proper hearing protection (good muffs) the noise is not bad. I plan on reloading for it soon.
