A buddy recently purchased a 7.5" Performance Center S&W .460 Mag XVR and topped it off with a Trijicon Type 2 RMR with a 3.25 dot. He calls me and says he is having trouble getting it zeroed using Federal Vital Shok 275 gr. Barnes Expander rounds and asks me to come over and give him a hand. (It's a poor carpenter who blames his tools, right?
)
I looked at his target and even shooting rested off a bench he had 5 shots all over the place. I brought my laser bore sight with me and after making sure everything was mounted properly and locked-down, bore sighted it.
We set up a fresh target at 25 yards and I fired two bore sight shots single action off the bench rest. Both were side-by-side at about 4 o'clock and a tad low/right. Made a couple click windage & elevation adjustments to the Trijicon and I took 2 more shots. Those were in the bullseye but still just a tad right. A couple more clicks left and the next 3 shots I fire were in the center.
We moved the target out to 50 yards, and I took one more shot. That one was just a tad high close to 12 o'clock. I told him he had better take a shot because he's the one who's going to be hunting with it. His shot hit just outside the bullseye at about 7 o'clock. That was good enough for him because he only had 5 rounds left and needed those for hunting. I'm guessing it should be pretty close out to 100 yards (in the right hands).
This was the first time I have ever shot a .460. Even with the muzzle brake that baby has some recoil to it! But it seems to be a pretty good shooting handgun. Me like!
