[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1491991, member: 2736"] This is exactly what I found shooting the 460. I have owned 44 specials, 44 rem mags, 454 Casull's and the 460 S&W and My titanium 44 special is one of the worst recoiling and loudest it is second only to my 44 mag. When I stepped up to the 454, I was impressed that it did not recoil as violently as the 44 mag (I purposely went to a raging bull because of size and weight) to offset the power increase. The first Time I shot a 460 I was shocked at how manageable it was and recoil felt less than my 454. I tried a 500 S&W and found no advantage in total performance so I went looking for a 460 and have been very happy. I have not shot any 45 LC in it because the 454 loads shoot so nice in the big Smith and I consider them reduced loads in the 460. For practice, the Hornady loading works well. for serous loading I load up the 300 grain bullets to get the best energies and trajectories from the 460. I have only praise for Smiths design and performance of there 460. I realize it is not for everyone, but for those that can handle the 460 S&W, it has It all in my opinion. And it is fun to shoot. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
