[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1701017, member: 2736"] The design and weight realy help the recoil in the big 460 S&W. One of the worst recoiling revolvers I have owned/shot was the Ruger in both the 44 mag and the 454. the design of the grip, size and its location makes a huge difference. I don't recommend a short barrel big bore pistol for hunting because of muzzle rise and total recoil. I have not shot a long barreled 460 Like Sidecar flip has, but it should actually be better about muzzle rise and squeezing a few more ft/sec out of the round. I built a bolt action rifle for the 460 S&W Round and was astounded by the increase in velocity. 2400 in the pistol and 2900+ in the rifle with the same 200 grain Hornady. the downside to the 200 grain load is that somewhere between 200 and 300 yards the accuracy falls off hence the heaver bullets for longer distance. The 250 grain FTX seems to be a good compromise in the pistol. Like many, the recoil is more manageable in the x Frame smith. The worst recoiling pistol that I own is a Thompson Center Contender in 444 Marlin. The 265 grain loads at speed develop 64.2 ft/lbs of recoil and over 3 times the recoil of the 460,s 1800 to 1900 ft/lbs of recoil. So I find the 460 S&W very manageable and fun to shoot J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
