FREE GUN FRIDAY: ENTER FOR A WIN > Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Target, Caldwell Target and Steiner Optics Micro Pistolsight. Close Do you think you would like to have a hand canon? A big-bore revolver that is manly and kick-like-a-mule. A big-bore caliber that fired once would literally wake up the dead and eat the head off a combative grizzly. I know I would. Here is my pick of big-bore revolvers calibers, from the bottom, the.41 Remington Mag, to the top, the.500 S&WMagnum. RELATED STORY 3 Single Action Revolver Calibers That You Can Always Trust 8 Big Bore Revolver Calibras.41 Remington Mag. The.41 Remington Magnum has existed for many years. Remington Arms Company was the first to make the.41 Remington Magnum. It was originally developed by Elmer Keith and Bill Jordan. The.41 Magnum. This centerfire cartridge is intended for large-frame revolvers. Remington introduced it in 1964 to serve law enforcement and hunting purposes. The.41 Mag. was once available. The Amarillo Police Department issued the S&W Model 58 revolver to officers. Ruger and S&W currently make.41 Mag. Single and double action revolvers. .44 Remington Magnum The.44 Remington Magnum is designed for revolvers and some carbine guns. The.44 Remington Magnum was based on the.44 Special. The.44 Special cases were used by many revolver shooters who tried out more powerful.44-caliber loads. Elmer Keith, a famed Idaho rancher, firearms enthusiast and author, was the father of the.357 Mag., and.41 Mag. &.44 Mag. He also used the.44 Special Case to push the limits for the.44 bullet. Keith asked Remington to produce a commercial.44 Magnum bullet. Remington did it, and Smith & Wesson developed the N-Frame Model 29 in 1956. Ruger was the next firearms manufacturer to offer a revolver with this caliber. Both companies still make revolvers for the.44 Magnum. There are many manufacturers of.44 Mag ammo. round. Black Hills, Winchester CCI, Remington Hornady Buffalo Bore Federal, and CorBon are just a few. .454 Casull In addition to the Ruger Super Blackhawk 444, Casull can also shoot the.45 Long Colt. Dick Casull created the.454 Casull back in 1957. Freedom Arms was the first company to produce a revolver chambered for.454 Casull. In 1983, they produced a single-action, five-shot model 83. Freedom Arms Model 83 still exists in production in.454 Casull, with barrel lengths of 4.75, 6.0 and 7.50 inches, respectively. Ruger introduced the Super Blackhawk chambered to the.454 Casull in 1997. Ruger still offers single- and double-action firearms in this caliber. The.454 Casull handgun round is one of the most powerful. Breach pressures can reach 60,000 CUO (copper unit pressure), which means that you will feel some serious recoil when you touch one of these bad boys. .480 Ruger This Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley chambered for.480 Ruger Hell-Boy is made with Hornady ammo. The.480 Ruger was introduced in 2003. It was the largest-diameter bullet ever produced. Ruger began by researching the.475 Linebaugh, but decided to create this round instead. Ruger is currently the only firearm manufacturer that makes a revolver for the.480 Ruger. This round is available in single- and double-action handguns. For a big-bore round, I recommend the.480 Ruger. The.480 Ruger is a round that I do not think is well-known. .460 S&W Some believe that the.460 S&W mag may be slightly more powerful than the.500 S&W. Both rounds have high power and vicious recoil. This round is basically a longerened.454 Casull. This caliber was designed for long-range handgun hunting. The.460 S&W Magnum round is superior to its larger brother, the.500 S&W Magnum. Smith & Wesson is the place to go for the bad-boy Model 460. The.460 S&W Magnum is a five-shot revolver with a high-recoil, single-action double-action. This firearm is ideal for those who want to go into big bear country and hunt feral hogs. Keep in mind that the breech pressure can reach 65,000 psi. You may be wondering what this means to you. It refers to heavy recoil. Several Ammo companies produce the.460 S&W Magnum, including Federal Premium, Underwood Ammo and Buffalo Bore Ammunition. Freedom Arms’.500 Wyoming Express Six-gun Premium Grade Six-gun is shown here. This revolver is a single-action revolver, not unlike the Colt Single Action Army. Freedom Arms introduced the.500 Wyoming Express in 2005 with their Model 83 single action five-shot revolver. This round was made for hunting in Wyoming, where hunting can lead directly to being hunted. The.500 Wyoming Express can take large, dangerous game. This cartridge is the most powerful handgun cartridge ever produced. It can take any large game animal in North America. Midway USA is the best place to check for this less-accessible round. .500 Linebaugh John Linebaugh created the.500 Linebaugh round in 1986. He tried high-pressure rounds in his.45 Long Colt gun. To do this, he made a five-shot cylinder that could withstand the higher pressures. Ruger Bisley and a converted Seville single action revolver were the first revolvers to shoot this round. No firearm manufacturer currently makes a revolver in this caliber. However, gunsmiths can convert the Ruger Blackhawk or Bisley to the.500 Linebaugh. Buffalo Bore Ammunition is the ammo company that makes this round. .500 S&W Magnum The S&W.500 HIVIZ has a 3.5-inch barrel, and weighs in the at 56.8 ounces. The Smith & Wesson.500 Magum X Frame five shot, double-action revolver can take any North American game. This round is the bad-boy of all the bad-boys, the big-bore among all the big-bore commercially manufactured firearms. The.500 S&W Magnum round has taken elephants and cape buffalo, as well as lions. I would say that this round is capable of taking any land animal on the planet if it is handled by an experienced pistolero. The.500 S&W Magnum can withstand a breach pressure of 60,000 PSI. This round is produced by a few ammunition companies, including Federal Premium, Underwood Ammo and Buffalo Bore Ammunition. Technical Shooting Details * Bullet weight is measured in grains.
