Having just acquired a Savage Safari rifle in 458 Win Mag, I thought an equally heavy duty handgun would be a nice complement. I have a Taurus Raging Bull in 454 Casull and Desert Eagle in 50 AE, so my question is will the Linebaugh give any significant increase in ballistics or effectiveness other than shattering my wrists? Judging by one of the Gun Digest annuals, the 454 actually delivers more energy and velocity, whereas the 475 delivers a bigger bullet. I wouldn't shoot more than a cylinder at one time much like I plan to do with the 458 when I get bullets for it. Is recoil greatly or slightly increased with the 475 versus the 454 or 50 AE?
As a side note, going through one of my dealer's catalogs, I saw where I could get Hornady 400 gr bullet for $15.99 per box of 20. That is a far cry from most other makers of this caliber.
Finally, what's the going price on one of Freedom Arms revolvers? The cheapest I've seen is around $1500 for the field model in the catalogs.
Thanks for all replies.
