That was good man.
Yeah, it's pretty big & heavy so recoil isn't as bad as one might think.
Honestly I think my .500 packs more punch but I haven't crunched numbers yet.

8 inch barrel? Should be damned accurate for longer ranges
Domain definition? LOL, sorry I came from math

A newly opened can of beer works well too, lol. I've scared 2 black bears out of my garage over the last few years. One time it was a younger male that looked like it was about ready to take me on, and so I chucked the almost full beer at him and it hit a tree while I was cussing at him, and that scared him off. It usually works just to yell at them in a scary way.i like rocks.. i can take a bear out at 30 feet with a rock, cuz i'm badass like that..
I also see mountain lions here too. I actually saw one eat a neighbors cat right in front of me when I was outside smoking a cig one day. Guess what I went inside and got my gun just to be safe.
I've pulled a gun on a sneaky fox too once who I swear was just trying to scare the shit out of me because I just scared him shortly before that. I almost loaded one in the chamber, but realized it was him, lol. They would mess with my dog too, and steal his toys. One day I let him off his leash since a fox was tormenting him and he found where they took all his shit, and so he brought it all back. Sneaky suckers.

You'll surely have the livelier end of the deal sending a 405 mooseward at 1500 fps ...

Like what range ... of ranges?

Yeah, I will admit my first impulse when I'm surprised by a bear in my garage is to grab a beer and open it.
The Bull I got this year was @ 325 yds on a dead run going away (he busted me big time!) - don't think I could have hit him with that pistol.
The old 30-06 Ackley comes through again.
On a side note I see my "go to" projectile in the 500 (440 Gr hard cast GC) max load is rolling out @ 1650 fps in a max "Ouch" load.

Yeah that's pretty hot.
And that Ackley is a sweet cartridge. Near WinMag ballistics but with less powder.

Ftx 460 round @2200 fps. Just sayin
I almost bought that big fucking revolver in that 45/70.
I seen a couple years ago they now have it in 460. With no muzzle break still! Lmao. That would be fun.
It was there for the taking - I don't really need it, but its a cool pistol.Ftx 460 round @2200 fps. Just sayin

BTW, the 460 is making those numbers with projectiles weighing about half what the 500 is throwing - and I've got the 4" barrel model, it's strictly for the "on my back" Big Bear Medicine so bigger slug is much better for breaking large bones.

I don't know if you can run this ammo in that revolver.... Or would want to.
