New toy turned up, just have to wait till shoot her.....

[sledgemeister]

Well after a bit of a saga trying to find one I managed to track one down and get ahold of it.

I have nick named her my Big Bada Boom

BTW how much is brass over your neck of the woods its like a 1.00+ each over here.


First pic is her by her lonesome and the second is a pic of her slumming it with a plastic fantastic for size comparison, cos size is important!

Wow!    A 460 Smith.  Man I'd like one.   460S&W, 454 Casull, 45LC.

Anytime, one of those wants to "turn up" on my door step, I wouldn't mind.

She's a big girl for sure, but what a beauty she is! Report on how she runs is mandatory.

can not wait to try it out in May

That stuff's about $50 to $60 per 100 up here west of the Peoples Republic of Illinois. Don't know the exchange rate but I hope that doesn't make you feel too bad.

Have fun with the beast, you've got more b___s than I've got.

Bro-in-law has one, they are actually a blast to shoot.  Muzzle blast is worst than recoil.  Feels like someone hit you in the face with a whiffle ball bat, nose runs a little and it takes a bit the get the shit eatin grin off your face.  Have fun!

Well these are prices I was quoted today and they are pretty decent for here abouts
454 $97.25/100
460 $60.75/50 
projectiles 200gr FTX $60.35/50
240gr XTP MAG $57.65/100
300gr XTP MAG $30.65/50.

I have heard one needs to use plugs and ear muffs when shooting it.
I pity the poor fool that stands beside me............. Like Phil 
Will teach the bastard for not inviting me along on his fishing trip!

This doesn't help in the least.   I've got a one-time deal with the gun range, good till August.  A one time purchase for $50 over dealer cost.  So many guns to choose from.     The 460 just got push to the top of the wish list.......again.

I like it you can use .45lc, .454 or the 460 earzen splitzen wood given boom bangers with it.
If legalities allowed I think I would have gone down the S&W 500 path just because LOL

Yeah.  All three calibers.   The only thing....the ONLY thing, not to like about it is the safety lock.     I still hold a grudge with S&W for caving in 2000.    This is the only new S&W I'd own.

Ammo cost, once I acquire the brass, won't be that much.   I've notice you just don't see much 45lc, 454C or 460 brass laying around at the range.  Darn it.   

Enjoy it  and post lots of pictures and range reports for those of us who will be so jealous, so we can live vicariously though your wild exploits.
