Yes I did because it's a Ruger .480 I don't think anyone shoots the big pistols double action.

Bfr in 500jrh has wild to mild loads. Haven't taken any game with it yet. Freedom arms 41 mag. Its scoped and has actin job. Ruger blackhawk 44 special. I just can't shoot the single action guns good. I have good moments with the freedom arms then next group sucks. X frame 460 and 500 in the stable too. The jrh will probably go down the road at some point as i don't need 2 50 caliber guns. The 629 and 657 i shoot pretty goodand i guess im partial to double actions. The freedom arms gun was a retirement gun and i eventually will learn to shoot it good. Until then the 657 gets deer stand duty. Its weird that i shoot pretty good groups with the 44 special open sights. All others are scoped or red dots.

I don't consider them big bores but i have a .44 mag and this Bisley .41 mag Blackhawk. I enjoy shooting them. That is a very hard to find edition - especially in .41M. But then you new that, right? Yes sir. Bought it online from a Cableas in Utah, in 2012. Since then hubby got me an unfired S&W .41 mag, I wanted a double action .41 as well..

Hers one of my big bore pistols, but not a SA Bisley, but it is my favorite. S&W 460XVR. It shoots a custom 315 SWC at 2100fps. It’s a pleasure to shoot. As you can see the wife even enjoys it ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/09/full-15111-432038-img_6523.png) You must be livin' right. Haha Out of curiosity, does she gut 'em & skin 'em for ya' too? She will gut them, she’s too slow to skin them.

Here's another .41 mag and a .44 mag. Spouse's FA .454. I like a companion sidearm to my Henry .41 mag lever action when I hog hunt. Spouse has a Rossi .454 as well. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/09/full-61217-432102-20240925_085643_copy.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/09/full-61217-432103-20240925_085318_copy.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/09/full-61217-432104-20240925_085340_copy.jpg)

.41's aren't big bores and .44S is really not in the theme here either. I can load a .357 that's hotter than any .44S so what's the point.
Wanna have a versatile .40+ then load .45 Colt. THAT's the mild to wild mid-to a little bit big bore.
Pass the gravy.

Care to share your ACP load? I’m getting ready to start ACP load development for my flat top pictured earlier in this thread. Thinking 250 grain MP 454-640 over Power Pistol.
Sometimes you make eight - sometimes you hit dirt…

Sweet pistols gentlemen. The birdshead grip is one I'd like to have as well. It and the Bisley fit my hand well.
How's the recoil with the .45 birdshead?

I am using a Ruger SBH 10 1/2”. Replaced front sight with fiber optic, black sight on black hog is hard to see. It’s actually a sight for a Ruger Mark something 22LR Rear is ghost ring. Some people hate them but it works for me. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/10/full-57808-432858-img_0303.jpeg)

I had heard the clicks while cocking a single action would scar off game. I did an experiment. This doe came into 5 yards, not hunting does. I cocked the hammer, nothing. Not even an ear twitch. Cocked 10 more times. She eventually noticed and took a couple steps towards me. With this particular deer it’s not a problem.
