| The longer barrel 500's are supposed to quite accurate. Take some ear plugs though because they roar (all models have compensators). Another option is the new 460 S&W (shoots 460, 45LC, and 454 all of which are 45 caliber). Recoil is stiff but manageable, unlike say some of the ultra light 44 mags on the market. Plus you can go to a lighter 200 grain load for the distances you intend to hunt. |
