.460
I can only answer about the power of the round. It's a bad boy! I have the S&W version and have dropped a whitetail @ 115+. Hoping to join the "200 Club" this year. If you buy one, start out with a smaller load. The 275 gr is my choice for whitetails.

You are going to have a blast (literally) Saturday. I coach a high school baseball team so my shooting is now limited but I am planning a ground hog hunt Sunday with the .460 and shooting stix. Can't wait!
ATTN: Redhawk...
What grain(s) have you settled in with for the .460? I know you are a reloader and I am not, but just picking your brain on this one. I'm still waiting on the Corbon 325s to arrive (back ordered for 2 months) before settling on a particular round. I'm like you-- I don't want...
Contenders have 12" barrels...
Encores have 15" barrels. As for legality in Illinois, my 7mm.08 was ILLEGAL. That's one of the reasons I purchased the .460. Sure glad I did!
Good shooting gun...
I had an Encore in the 7mm.08 and recoil was noticeably less than the .308. I forget what mounts I had, but had a Leupold scope on top. I just didn't like the 15" barrel for the type hunting I do, so I sold gun and picked up a .460. However, you will love the T/C.
Best handgun I've owned. Like it so much I...
adopted the name:D I killed my 2nd whitetail with it yesterday using 300 gr. .454 ammo. Can't wait for the .460 ammo availability to improve. Finally found some Corbon .460 ammo in 275 gr. but that's about it, except for the 395's, and I'm just...
Scope...
I have an Aimpoint 3000 (red dot-fixed pwr) on my .460 and it works very well. Same sight is used extensively by our military in the Middle East.
Does my name give a hint?
:D I have killed a number of deer with a T/C Encore but that gun is no match,personally, to my S&W .460 scoped with an Aimpoint 3000. Great weapon!
I guess the Alabama Redneck
wanted to come out of me when I called my Illini animal in instead of driving up to a check-in station with the tailgate down!:D Anyway, my only gripe is having to get my bifocals out to read the tiny print on the license.
