1,425 fps with a 360 - not THAT light. Looks like a good mad bull and grizzly load.
That ought to rotate up pretty high.
NICE!

I'd have thought you might prefer the 5" .500 S&W Mag. The one I shot didn't kick as much as my 4" M29(with round-butt grips) [/quote)..
..
.

I checked out the S&W 460 and 500 in the X-Frames.. have to say I am not a fan.. way too top heavy.. do not feel good for natural point of aim for me.. this one does..and I am a serious fan of the brass tip front sight...feel confident if shot placement is good, bear will take notice..

I've shot a fair amount of Buffalo Bore ammo, and can tell you their posted velocities are conservative. When I'm bow hunting I carry a stainless Kimber 45 loaded with Buffalo bore 45 supers.
a 230 gr truncated cone bullet at 1100fps from a 4" barrel.

I was wondering what sort of "6-gun" our resident NE cowboy was wearing in a holster on his hip.

And oh for the days when I could walk into a gunshop, andwalk out with a firearm (though not a handgun). I am so old I remember those days !!!! (like most of us here. )

---

I am using a left sided cross draw holster.. handy for when riding ..getting on and off the horse, etc..

This is the modern cowboy long gun in America..

Mate, can I share this image with a horsey female who also shoots here in Australia. On her fb page?

Good setup for the apocalypse when horses because primary modes of transport again.

BTW what is the AR? Is it 5.56 or say .500 Blackout? Or 6.5mm of some sort? Or?

Feel free to use the pic.. not mine actually--stole it off another post somewhere.. But thought it is a really nice setup..plan to doing a similar setup myself actually--

To my knowledge it is an AR-15 in .5.56

Had a somewhat interesting/amusing event happen with this. I was practicing with this new handgun.. shooting flipper targets mounted on a treated 4"x4" by 6 ft long piece of treated lumber --started with shooting standard 45 Long Colt ammo--flipping them just fine.. once empty I reloaded with the Buffalo Bores discussed above.. actually shot high on the first shot..lowered my point of aim and fired again at the center target.. connected --however instead of flipping the single target..the entire target set with all three flippers tipped over along with the 6ft piece of lumber they were attached to.. THAT is some serious muzzle energy..

Kinetic energy might not work in the same manner with animals, but can be quite "telling" on steel and wood.
Fun!!!
