The 460 may have a bit more movement during recoil, but the 629 is much more uncomfortable to shoot. I’ve gone through 3 or 4 different grips on the 629....and just can’t make it comfortable to shoot with heavy loads ! memtb
Anything bullet over 350 grains offers no additional value out of 460. I use a 260 CPS by North Fork Technologies and it has no issues with penetration. I shoot an 800 lb grizzly through the shoulders, breaking both, with a clean exit.

I used 325 grain HC and jacketed bullets on bison also with complete penetration.

Use a reasonable bullet weight and you won't have as much of an issue.

be safe
