458 Win Mag Data for Encore Pistol

[45nut]

Can you enlighten me with some data for a 16" Encore ?
500gr @ 1800fps is my target.

For cottontails or Jackrabbits?

Actually this won't be for hunting wabbit's at all. I am hoping for a trip to Jurassic Park to cull a few Triceratops'.

You mean the .458 Win Mag, the elephant bullet in a pistol?!?1

You got some serious cajones. I'd rather shoot a new ruger super redhawk alaskan in .454 than that!

Yep,,the very same 458 Win Mag for my Encore to be used as a pistol.
I have a pair of SRH 454's as well as the 454 Encore tube,these are going to seem mild indeed. I have a 50 Alaskan tube for my Encore on order as well.
Some people just think differently about "enough gun".

I think bigger is better but not in the case of a big hospital bill from having my wrists rebuilt :grin:
