44 Magnums and Beyond

[CDR_Glock]

So I started out with a few 357 Magnums. I swore I wouldn't go higher. My friend introduced me to the 44 which I didn't realize was all that bad: PC 629 Hunter.

Then I got hooked and wondered what all the hype was. I traded for a 454 Casull, and realized that recoil was not bad. It was loud, but not unpleasant.

So I stepped up to the 500 S&W. Again, not bad in the length I chose. Very accurate. Very powerful.

But I felt a gap. I wanted velocity and power, too. So I had to get the 460 XVR.

I'm configuring everything with Red Dots. Two have Aimpoints. But I tried a Primary Arms Advanced Microdot, and it's taking the recoil of the Smith 500 like a champ. They're rated for high velocity like 12 gauges and 308. I put 35 rounds through my 500. Super fun. I would have shot more if I had more.

Obviously I will be reloading for these revolvers. I just ordered dies for the 460. I already have the equipment for the 44, Casull and 500.

Nice looking group sir. I especially like the Light Hunter. I mounted

Mine with a 2x Leupold EER using the factory supplied barrel mount..

The forward position seems to balance better for me..

If you want / need more power you might consider either a 475 or a 500 Linebaugh . I'm sure either will satisfy that " itch " . Good Luck

Great points. I have most of my desires satisfied for now. Those are great rounds.

Perhaps you should be thinking of a Freedom Arms revolver next, since you like shooting very stout loads.

Or for pure fun, a Ruger Alaskan. Good flamethrower.

Friend let me fire his 44 mag...6 rounds..almost broke my let me tell you what I really think finger under the trigger guard.

The only real way I wish to be around a 44 mag would be bear hunting and someone else be carrying the 44......

Big boomers are fun

I was shooting rifles with my brother and a few friends a couple of years back, one of which was a younger fellow of 18 who was sighting in his ported .308. I asked him if he would like to touch off my m70 in 338WM and he quietly threw me the middle finger.. LOL!

Enjoy the big boomers while you can. You'll begin to feel the effect of them in your wrists and elbows.

Ditto. Weighs a hair more than my 6" M629.

In my right hand

There are 45/70 and 444 revolvers out there .
I had 45/70 and 30/30 barrels for my TC Contender that were fun.
