Okay, who shoots it? What can you say about it? Seems to be quite versitile big animal hunting round or target knocker.

I was looking more for practical experience and comments.

I figure the 45 style cartridge is more versitile than the 480 - that's the Ruger - and the others.

I also figure the recoil to be in neighborhood of 30-06 and more of a shove than a whack.

I never could take much 44 mag shooting, but could shoot hot 45LC's all day, if you know what I mean.

At 100 meters or so, that 45 should be more efficient than the '06 for deer sized game, but am not sure yet.

It is just like when the S&W500 came out. You will have to wait to get any information. S&W does not even have the guns out in the market place. There my be a few in the hands of gun testers. So you will have to wait a while for your practical experience and comments. You will have to depend on gun rags and bits and pices of information right now.

Also you may want to contact SSK Industries and see what information they have. :grin:
