I have been looking at the 460s and 500s. I will be getting a 4'' 500. I hope by spring!

I really love my 460 for deer hunting.......kills em dead seems like no matter the range,,,,,,

I went ahead and bought both. The 460 with 45 Colt ammo is like shooting 38 wadcutters in the 66. The 500 I bought came with 40 rds of ammo, now all I have is 40 rds of brass. I'm waiting for my Starline brass to come in.

You don't always need to put the biggest hole in the Game your hunting to bring it down. Merry Christmas Everyone and may your game bag be heaping.

With eyes like mine, hitting any part of the animal is hard, the bigger the projectile the better chance I have.

I started off thinking I'd want a 500. After some time thinking it over I realized I don't need to try to appear more manly with 500's and hummers, so I decided when the time comes, I'll grab a 460.

JK 500 and hummer fans... I'm just teasin!

In fact, I WOULD like both a 500 and 460...the 500.. well c'mon it's a 500! and the 460... something about those high velocities really appeals to me... hitting 2300 ft/sec makes me smile.

Also.. interestingly I have a large supply of .45 long.... but no .45 to shoot!

Really though, to pick one is tough... and not a decision that should be taken lightly. Each has great reasons to buy it.
