44 magnum vs 460? Here's what I found.

I have a FA 454 and a few years ago one of my grand daughters wanted to shoot it after shooting my son's 44 mag. Today she has her own FA 454 and hunts with it .[5-4" & 125#].
 
I would love to try shooting a 460 or 500 Magnum but I only weigh 180lbs and I don't want to get a barrel in the face.
I actually thought about buying a 480 Ruger because I do like big bores and I think I may be able to handle that one for a couple cylinders full, anyways.
I have shot bullseye style, with one hand, Grizzly Ammo loads, out of my .41 magnum with one hand, 255 gr hard cast that were supposed to be 1350 fps. I didn't think that was anything to complain about.
I guess I need to man up and just do it once. I've been offered to shoot 460 and 500 and declined, but I haven't been presented a 480 to try yet. I might love it.
Guess I'm one of the wieners. (for now anyways)
I've shot one of the 5" compensated 460's and it wasn't bad, but all I had was S&B ammo, which was not a max load. I will say soda cans flat out disappeared!!
