.460 XVR S&W Magnum

Hickox 45 here you're looking at a big piece of steel aren't you 460 Smith and Wesson Magnum you have requested it we got it I requested from buds gun shop comm they sent it so we appreciate all of their help check them out and we're gonna fire it because we've got some federal ammo several different kinds this is supposed to be the most powerful 45 caliber revolver on the planet and I guess it is right so we have the right to shoot it and we're gonna do it partly thanks to the NRA go to the web or the description or our web site and make sure you join up at a discount if you're not a member of the NRA okay and we're gonna proceed to shoot some beautiful well not some I don't think I'll shoot the model 29 line there we're just gonna compare sighs let you look at the difference while I do it right now look at that this is the X range you're not familiar this is the next big step in the Smith & Wesson the lineup used to be the 44 Magnum believe it or not was the most powerful handgun out there I guess production handgun and that story has changed had now with the X frames and in other firearms as well but it still is a handful with hot-hot ammo so I just wanted to put those side-by-side because some of you are not very familiar are not very familiar with firearms you might not be able to put this into context because I've got big hands and everything this might look fairly normal to you it looks gigantic even to me so yeah it is supposed to be the most powerful 45 out there highest velocity revolver I think out there in fact that's what they call it the xvr extreme velocity revolver that stands for believe it or not so the 460 Smith and Wesson Magnum is a 45 caliber round now you know what that means I was scrounging around the bar and I found a bunch of 45 caliber rounds and I'm gonna try a minute and see if they'll work okay it's a powerful kicking hard kicking firearm not as hard I don't think it's a 500 Magnum but I'm gonna work my way up okay to start out here just so I can break into it slowly so I found some stuff here we'll see if it fits I found a 45 Schofield that's the only thing that that federal doesn't load but I've got a 45 Schofield round which is a shorter 45 colt rounds let's put it in first and here's a 45 colt see if it fits I believe it will yes I need to remember where they are and in a 454 casull that's 45 all right then we have actually our first 460 Magnum and that's a fusion round from federal and it's that's it's a 460 Magnum it's not quite as hot though as this last one which is a federal round and it is called the Swift 300 grain swift a-frame okay I think packs a punch I have fired some of those all right so we've got from lightest to hottest and time I fire those five you know I've gone through the rant of the whole gamut I'm gonna make sure that Schofield comes up first pave the Smith & Wesson your cylinder turns counterclockwise so I want to put it over there just to the right of the hammer it's right there and it will fire first once I [ __ ] it all right that's our big old gun it's eight and three what is it it's an eight I think it's eight ensuing 3/8 inch barrel just like the old dismiss and it weighs get this 73 ounces in that barrel length we talk about pistols and their weights quite a bit around here like a Glock 19 I think it's about 24 ounces that right yeah the polymer guns and how they range from around 20 of the high 20s in terms of ounces and we have one recently we looked at it was all steel semi-automatic I think the Smith & Wesson 406 model in it I believe it was what was it 30 or 40 it was a heavy gun 30 40 ounces this thing is 73 ounces that is a Hoss all right one reason we wanted to put all through all of those rounds in there is to show you that they all work in this firearm and also maybe give you a a look at the difference in the recoil alright so to start out with there shouldn't be a whole lot of recoil then as we wrap it up my hand will be bleeding right I'll put let's see let's put that Schofield round on the cowboy down there so I'll just leave it up to you all to check out the recoil I'll give them all the same hold oh that felt like a 22 short now we've you know what I think I messed up maybe not you know I did I did I'll have to do it manually so 45 colt next okay 45 colt cowboy that wasn't much either now let's find a 40 of the kosoul 454 kosoul alright I put them in the wrong order sorry about that but I'm able to fix it because I'm so smart when you make a lot of mistakes you learn how to fix them okay 454 casull uh things got some punch we'll put him on the cowboy anyway Wow little difference there now let's find the fusion round there it is right there okay this is a 460 fusion I'm gonna put it on that cinder piece of cinder block down there oh nice all right coming up last is that a frame round and let's just put it on the watermelon alright it's up to you to check the recoil see if I miss it see my flinch and miss the watermelon whoa that some of it came back at me smooth watermelon ricochet so that is basically demonstrating the flexibility of this firearm all those different rounds we'll get all that brass out lots of different stuff in there hey I tell you the 45 colt and the Schofield are nothing I'll get water belt all over my pretty-pretty hide here but yeah that's pretty interesting the flexibility of this firearm lots of 45c it may be something else in 45 it will fire I can't think of anything oh I do I guess it would fire a 45 Auto rim if you know what that is no of course that's about like a Schofield not the same thing not quite as long I think it's a Schofield round so yeah 45 Schofield 45 Auto Ram should work 45 colt and then 454 casull and that as I understand it's around this groove out of okay this this 454 casull which is a hot round that's where it all started and they just basically lengthened it and so it's kind of a Magnum Magnum eyes 454 you see it's longer okay and 454 actually it's already pretty Magnum in my book so the 460 is kind of a Magnum Magnum I'll tell you though I I don't I don't feel a lot of difference between the the fusion in the 460 and in this 454 casull Ram they're both pretty warm so that's pretty cool lots of flexibility now that said you know if you have this firearm yeah I be yes fondant shoots the 45 colt and some lighter rounds and it's nice to have that flexibility but I don't think you'd buy this it's a sheet 45 colt in if I'm going to shoot 45 Colt or Scofield I'm gonna shoot 45 colt in my favorite 45 Colt revolver Colt single-action or even a double-action smaller revolver my governor right it fires that you know you know a gun that's more appropriate to the size I'd be goofy to buy one of these to fire 45 colt oh yeah but it's cool that you can do that now I don't know those too goofy to buy it to fire 454 cuffs all because that is a hard kicking round I had that toke late' what was that a Ruger Redhawk cocolate you know revolver y'all seen the video on that I sold that or traded though to a guy I it just kicked it kicked so hard it wasn't fun to shoot John I are not really recoil sensitive and we both just we just didn't like it so I sold someone else now their hands vibrating so I might be tempted on this if I wanted to shoot a lot of that stuff you know if you're if you're gonna maybe carry this in Griz country or something might want a shorter barrel five inch barrel on a six inch barrel chest holster some some way you could carry it conveniently and then you've got the the gamut of ammo anything from 454 cast soul on it through the hottest 460 yeah so so it's an interesting round it's known for its really high velocity I think it is supposed to be the revolver the highest velocity revolver there's ammo for this thing from some of the smaller companies especially up into the 2,000 range and velocity you know you know to 2,200 2,300 feet per second that's incredible coming out of this thing because these things here they set you back these are eight frames swift they're three hundred grains and the velocity on them is 750 feet per second at the muzzle and I'll tell you what I don't want to shoot much anything much hotter than that I just don't they make these things called rifles and they have shoulder stalks on them really and when you're firing something bigger than that that's what I want just just Mesa all right so anyway y'all requested this you won the to us to get one so I did and I have I have discovered I've been you know picking on it of course for recoil and everything it's not as bad as a 500 and with reasonable rounds it's more comfortable to shoot than the 500 Magnum if I were a handgun hunter and hunting some big stuff I guess I would probably favor this over the 500 now I can see why so many people like it and he wanted us to try it and give our opinion so I'll shoot some fusion here it's something I I'm not sure I can shoot all that well I'm not sure what it is I've shot it a fair amount and I don't think I'm winning marksmanship contest with it I think I maybe I'm flinching or something but I think I've got the sites where they need to be but I can tell even with us pretty warm ammo it's it's fairly comfortable to shoot it doesn't just hurt your hand or anything and yet you're still getting a lot of velocity and a lot of dare I say it killing power if you're a hunter okay lots of penetration so it's a it's a lot of people's favorite big gun and I can see why I really can for example look what it does this bowling pin right here oh man that thing is loud as loud I'm gonna have to smoke some pot after that yeah that's better I'm here's then tighter let's go there and put one on the gong let's wake him up you notice it gets there pretty fast yeah gets there pretty fast and lose him around a little bit so it's it's hard move doubt about it I think it's big Brown torpedos 460 again 45 caliber oh man that's why it is so so versatile so you know a lot of people point out things like this how you can practice you know with the lighter ammo shoot more ammo less expensive and all that kind of thing first the problem is usable you change your point of impact you know with I mean you change the velocity dramatically or you change the bullet weight and all that some extent and then also you can fire 45 colt all day long well in fact let's shoot some I could fire this 45 colt all day long and it's not really going to help me become proficient with this hard kicking revolver you know say I was going hunting this just might be fun to shoot it but it's not going to help me a lot yeah no recoil at all it's 73 ounces and it's nice that it fires that but you don't really you don't gain much by that okay let's go and cheat these scope fields while we're at it got five more of those just for fun I should have saved those for the end just to to come down you know from the heart kicking stuff let's put some of these on there now let's save the hot stuff for the target let's get that cowboy and that other yeah boy the one advantage of that would be if you have this you plan to hunt with it and the fact that it does fire this other this other ammo if you have someone around who is maybe very small and they don't like recall much at all they could shoot your big gun here and you know just enjoy it or get a feel for it and know what it's like recalling would not be an issue all right why don't we put some of these big boys in here all right here we go and again these are the swift a-frame rounds from federal and depending what you're hunting I guess that'd be a good hunting around for hogs or anything so it's a fusion far as that goes but these are yeah family run into a little that you're going to be careful shooting shorter rounds and a cylinder and a chamber and then going back to the long rounds but I think it's too dirty all right let's put one of these on the paper target all right and get my ears in sight I might just try it one hand here all right hey went through the paper also did that one let's try a bowling pin there I'll try not to hit the cowboy oh there's no [ __ ] a water hang in there oh I'll bet it'll break it yep well I'm bad about not counting my rounds but not with this I tend to count so yeah that kicks a little bit but you know it's not horrible it's not horrible it's loud in which by the way you can change out your muzzle brake there that's why I have this out to show you you could put a different one in I didn't do that I'm not sure which one is better for what I'm doing but you just we got we're unloaded okay so we're gonna mess riding into the barrel whoo so this little hex screw right there take that out and you can just replace the the muzzle brake okay you know if they make more than that option or not but so anyway and flexible there's also the I guess the if this is what's just a different site with a gold bead or a brass bead on it you could put that into okay the rear sight comes off and you can mount an optic there's its drilling taps but it's drilled and tapped underneath this site so you take that one off and put put your aim point or a big 20 power scope on there whatever you want I guess and fire that thing it's an e cartridge it really has well uh let's take a break from that and shoot a low love this fusion let's go over they go over the other hill a little bit okay now this thing has a reputation for being very accurate to high velocity and accurate and while you're looking at that big bullet let me get a drink here I'm getting a frog in my throat it wasn't small frog it was not a tude as a little tree frog of my throat or something but uh it's a it has really has a reputation for being an accurate to revolver I have I've read about some people's experience and and the accuracy they they found with it and so I'm not gonna benchrest it and do a bunch of accuracy testing it's not I don't enjoy doing that for one thing I know it's an accurate revolver and I'm not gonna buy fire armor it's a rifle shotgun a rifle or a handgun it has its reputation for not being accurate it has some kind of serious accuracy problems okay yeah we just don't do that a lot other people do that bench arresting and and talk about their groups with various ammo being an inch and a half or an inch and a quarter or this big or that big or that big not making fun um I just don't really enjoy that I know this thing is going to be way more accurate than I am okay put it that way so it's it's a got a good reputation this cartridge does it really does and of course these x-frame revolvers and do as well so let me see if I can hit that that new target over there square went from shoot some steel comm they've got some more they're going to give us and see if I can swing it a little bit sure I eat it or not yeah we got it Wow you know what this thing is so loud it's so much blast that I don't typically hear the target as much I'm gonna try the gong if I can hear it I think I heard it Wow you have to see it moving almost that's a kind of a strange phenomenon because generally you can you know you can see when you hit with any trouble hear it ringing and all that sort of thing we put a few more of those in there I think I know where to hold it eyes are big bullets aren't they big cartridges some people just thrive on these big heart kicking firearms and and they're okay I just don't like to make a habit out of it all right let me get over there hit that thing all right I was going low I guess let's try a ram like I have another round okay whoo oh man part of my problem was I was reluctant to shoot it 50 times just to see where where to hold but I think I had an idea first hit was shooting I was either low or high on me quite a bit and I had to move the site around you know shot some more and I got it I thought pretty much on and I may have kind of forgotten exactly where to hold after that but they tried to ram again okay got to get a ram with this thing pills right pretty much I don't know if I've held where I hit but I'll hold the right square on him okay got a better feel for it now try that other Ram okay I kind of know where the whole one thing about these big old guns they do for you I guess is you know you got a big blast coming and even if you shoot a lot there's still this I'm a bit subconscious but there's this temptation inclination to flinch or to pull that trigger before you really mean to so that's the thing you kind of battle with with one of these and if I did a lot of hunting with it I'd make sure I shot it a fair amount you know just I don't I don't shoot big guns like this as often you do it every now and then I'm put some of these hot ones and they're speaking out that hey and so you really do want to overcome that all right now these are the big ones let's let's go through god I think there's a slightly different point of impact with these but not dramatically I'm gonna put one on the gong these ears in fight [Music] it's it hard while we've got it let's hit this other bucket of water here close by I think this will blow up a 2-liter I wounded it what a waste of a powerful round let's get that green one I'll have to go to retrieve it it blew it off into the woods Wow yeah it's good training good training good training forces you not to flinch like I'll fire some of these 454 kosoul yeah this is the only farm I have I try to hang on to a few of these and keep a few of them on order but I don't really have anything else it'll fire this so when this goes back for the Egon or auction oh yeah I've got ammo with nothing to fire but we'll probably have another one in here we may have another 460 sometime who knows might ride in a different barrel length sometime all right well there's a little two-liter still standing yeah I took him out and there's a Kentucky two-liter and let's try the shoots of Steel target over there okay that felt like a good let off and I was holding right on it I'll try I'll try it again I heard the ring sounded good boy all right big gun big rounds and it's kind of fun occasionally to do this I'll have to say this firearm what do I not tell you about it it's you know it's a go back for a knee gunner auction and one of you all can shoot the thing enjoy it I think they sell for around eleven twelve hundred dollars you know these ex frames are not cheap of course and you wouldn't want one of these cheap the pressure this thing has to withstand but you know if you're a handgun hunter or you just enjoy shooting a really powerful handgun with fairly heavy bullets of high velocity you know this might be your ticket I I would study the forums and and the statistics on these and the 500 the what the rigor 480 you know because there's everybody has his or her own opinion about which one is better and which one's best you know for hunting or whatever you doing you know and this one does come highly recommended by a lot of people partly because of its flexibility but also the fact that it it's not quite as big a bore but you've got a little bit better trajectory yeah you got a flatter shooting round that still hits really hard yeah so and then you know and if you're a big-game hunter or something you already know that the penetration is the main thing there more so than even the size of the bull I guess in a lot of cases so I guess I'm not finished punishing myself let's shoot a few more of these these fusion rounds I might have another target here head and then hit yet for sixty one of the big ones and and actually fun to shoot it doesn't really hurt yes it's much more pleasant now if you get some of those heavy bullets going over 2,000 feet per second I don't think those would be fun at all these pretty powerful that I'm shooting here today some of these powerful enough for me for my taste and for what I want to do and you still get some nice recoil and that feeling of firing a very powerful round because as heavy as this is if you're getting any recoil at all you know you've really launched something these are good looking firearms I'll have to say alright let's let's shoot something else here we can't shoot this steel it would be really hard on it so we'll go there to the gong [Music] brings that thing laughs I've got two more rounds let me try pig kill the pig I'm surprised oh I'll let the bowling pin out here too let's see if we can roll him guilty what a gun all that is a gun for 60 that's a lot of stainless steel isn't it so you know I don't know what else to tell you about it other than you already know if you have a need for one of these you've probably already investigated it like I said I would give it a serious look if you're thinking about say the 500 you know Magnum anything big like this because this one there's a lot going for it and I've studied the ballistics you probably are more interested in that than I am and I think you'll find that it's it's a viable possibility alternative to through the 500 you know but they're both big old guns they're both fun fun to shoot I think that Big Horn armory rifle you know it's chambered in the 500 Smith and Wesson Magnum helped me remember because I told you in the video the first video with that rifle what else it was chambered for I think I believe it was chambered for the 460 also it just came to me here I think it was and that would be a good chambering fir for that for a lever gun if it's not but I think it is you'd have a little bit less trajectory and still have a really hard hitting hitting bullet no doubt about it so so anyway the X frame in the 460 Smith and wants to make them I got powder burns or powder all over me burnt powder all over me I'm trying to say cool gun everybody should own one no home is complete without one of these it's the kind of firearm you want to put in the hands of your you know your way I won't say that that's the thing we don't want it I was going to make a joke and the reason I'm not gonna make the joke is because some guys are bad about that you know yeah honey let me show you or were your nephew or someone who is 14 and wants to shoot and hasn't shot anything what do we do sometimes I don't we put a 44 Magnum in their hands you know no it won't kick much you know and of course it's them in the forehead or something and they never want to shoot again so a joke about that but too many guys do that so I'm not gonna joke about it it's just the dumbest thing we can do really you don't want to put this in somebody's hands that is say a new shooter unless maybe like I say you put some 45 Colts in it over 45 Schofield rounds in it and then there's no recoil at all so anyway we all know better than that we're supposed to be supporting the Second Amendment and bringing new people into the shooting sports you know not discouraging them you know okay with lame jokes anyway cool gun appreciate you coming out and you know if you're interested in this thing study up on it the law and there's a lot of interesting ballistics information about all these various rounds that are chambers and what you can do with this that maybe you can't do as well with the 500 I don't know maybe it does everything better than this can do I don't know but it's got some pretty pretty avid fans that's for sure the 460 Smith and Wesson Magnum might be worth taking a look at life is good oh man you guys watch that whole video well not one to judge but while you're here
