[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2110416, member: 92702"] True, and I will stand by what I said. Only realistic uses I can think of for them is: .460- extended range for states where straight walled cartridges are mandated, and for the larger ones: when someone is concentrating on very large game at short range with a handgun only. This person usually has a guide with a big rifle for back up. When carrying both a handgun and a rifle hunting, anything heavier than a .44 most likely will be left behind if walking very far, and the .44 is likely to get booted for a 10MM auto. that being said, I carry my 629 Competitor more hunting than I do my 6" 1911 10MM. But, I just like the gun, and the way it shoots and kills. Use Keith's old load and its very lethal on most anything that walks. One of these days I'm going to load up some of the new solid copper fluid transfer bullets with a case full of 296 and shoot something tough with it. Everyone says they behave like a much larger projectile. [/QUOTE]
