You win in my books, some of that ammo you got there is from hell. I think a grizzley would faint if you just showed him the bullet.
 
Walk on the wild side, adopt a hand cannon.
Anyway, my current crew are a BFR in 45-70. Stout loads with 450gr hardcast gets my attention. But for shear recoil, my Thompson Centre in 444 marlin takes the prize. It generates about 15% more power than a 460 S&W. The Lone Eagle in 30-06 is a great gun. Loaded stout it can match rifle velocities readily. Just a matter of whether the operator wants to go there.
Guns I have recently sold are a TC in 35 rem, and a TC Encore in 7MM rem mag. I have two new TC Contenders coming, one in 338jdj#2, and the other in 375jdj. The latter has a long history of success in Africa on the big 5. Anyway, attached are a few picks of the crew.

I don't own any hand cannons; i try not to own any safe queens and I think a hand cannon would definitely be one.

But I did get to shoot my friend's 44 Desert Eagle and that was an effin' hoot:

finally got around to getting a picture of most of my cast boolits i load for the 500mag, there are a few missing and i've since sold my 600gr mold (number 6&7)

Well my cannons only rate 'canon light' compared to some of the postings here.



Still really like my Dan Wesson .44 Mag. May not have the punch of some of the newer offerings, but is highly accuraqte out to 200 meters. Back in my silhouette days I shot a 37 out of 40 targets free style with it. So there may be revolvers with more power, but not sure any more accurate.

The other is my S&W 686 in .357 Mag, not a cannon, but a really nice shooter and a little rare with it's 4 position adjustable front site.

lol thats some scary looking stuff, that 700 grain when loaded must kick like a mule.

i don't find it to bad with h110 or lilgun but with sr 4759 it seems to kick really good, i was going to shoot 20 of them but stopped after 10 and went to the 440gr rounds.
