I will say at first blush it is racing up the chart for hunting. I have only fired 25 rounds through it today from Longshot to max H110 topped with a Lee 400 grain boolit. I will say the recoil was pleasant compared to 454 Casull even at the top end. It also seems to be hunting accurate with any load I used today without any real effort. The grips on it are much thinner than on my flattop 44 special and are much ch more comfortable. Will still replace them sometime.
 
Get some Hogue Tamers for it and you will be set. I got my first SRH in .480 in 2001 and killed a truckload of game with a .480 in one iteration or another. It’s a great piece!

I was able to shoot a little bit more today at 25 and 50 yards. The 12 grains of Longshot and the Lee 400 grainier made for a pleasant and accurate load. With my eyes and open sights I was grouping at 3” at 50. I believe with a little work and maybe a Burris ff3 it will be my new hunting rig.
I like the Ultradot but think I may try the Burris on a Weigatinny mini mount, or however it is spelled.
Sorry still no pics.
I am really looking forward to putting it use on some deer this year should said animals decide to cooperate and hold up their end of the equation.

Decided to try the Weigand no drill that secures to the erh. I figure I can mount either a reflex or an Ultradot. Now I need to ask what holster will fit with that mount.
