I have several .44 magnum revolvers, but I feel underpowered. Does anyone have experience with a S&W 500 or 460?

I have a 460 you well not feel underpowered with that or the five hundred.

I have up to 5 44s they are a much more practical hand gun for normal use then the 460’s or the 500’s I have used.

My hand load for my 460 is a 300gr hard cast WFN at 1550fps by the book one could add another 500fps.

Feel free to do so if one wants.

I find no need.

Having shot bears with my 315grWFN 44 hand loads at 1300fps I can tell you they well shoot side ways through big bears.

A friend of mine shot one front dead center of the chest that bullet exited the rear ham over 4 feet of penetration.

Buy a 500 or 460 you can have all the fun you want.
