[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 925063, member: 41442"] ill agree and a little with some and disagree with ohters. If its your first big bore handgun get yourself a 44 mag. Ammo is easier to find and about half the price and the same goes for brass if you reload. Theres 10 times the varity of loaded 44 mag ammo out there then there is 454. If you dont reload full power 454s arent a good starting point for learning how to shoot a big gun. If you reload the 44 mag in a super redhawk can be taken up to pressure levels that about rival 454 performance. Ill put it this way ive got 41mags, 44mags, 45 colts, 454s 475s and 500 linebaughs and what youll 9 times out of 10 will find me in the woods with is a 44mag of some sort. Unless your intentionaly hunting big bear the 44 mag loaded with a heavy cast bullet at 1200 fps will take care of anything that can be shot with a handgun. I shot a number of buffalo with handguns of all calibers and the quickest kill i ever withnessed on one with any gun, handgun or rilfe was the 1100 lb cow i shot with my 4 5/8s blackhawk 44 mag using a 250 grain cast bullet at 1200 fps. Sure it was probably just one of those things but still drives home the point that if it cant be done with a 44mag most handgunners shouldnt be fooling with it anyway. [/QUOTE]
