about having a hard time handling my 450 GNR in my Encore pistol shooting a 500 grain bullet at 2000 fps. And PH John Abraham wanted me to get it up to 2100 fps which I am not sure I could handle. They said the 458 Win Mag was a 500 at 2130 fps, so I was right on the edge of the 458 WM power in a 15" pistol. Thankfully I didn't get drawn for the elephant hunt in Zambia where I wanted to use the same gun I took my Cape Buffalo with, just jacked up another 150 fps. I heard it said that God looks out for fools. Maybe that means me in front of a 7 ton elephant with a single shot handgun. But again maybe next year...
But here is the info on the 460 G&A..
