#1 in 460 S&W, anybody got one?
« on: March 01, 2012, 09:55:38 AM »
I live in Indiana and to use a rifle for deer it must be calibered in handgun cartridge with case not exceeding 1.8 inches. 
 
Ruger is now making the #1 in 460 S&W.  I never paid the #1 much attention until now...Must say it is attractive, and expensive. 
 
Would like a little feed back before plunking down the dead presidents (no politics intended).
 
Will likely put on a low power variable scope.
 
Any thoughts-opinions?
 
Thanks in advance,

If I had to use a pistol caliber, I'd choose the .460 too! You would have the classiest rifle in camp with a Number 1 and low-power scope. It is more than enough for any deer or bear that walks, all the way up to just about anything that walks. Now you have me thinking of getting my own! let us know if you buy one.

Did not buy one.
 
Ended up with an Encore barrel made by MGM in .358 Hoosier.  It will wear a VX-R 2-7x33 scope. 
 
Have Hornady custom dies on order, already have brass, a few loaded rounds and more bullets on the way. 
 
Never played with a wild cat before (I guess if you don't count 25-06), it will be fun.
 
There still may be a #1 in my future, they are beautiful.
