The Taurus Raging Hunter 460 S&W Mag delivers magnum-level stopping power in a precision-engineered platform built for serious hunting applications. This large-frame revolver combines the raw energy of the 460 S&W Magnum cartridge with features specifically designed to manage recoil and maintain accuracy on large game.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard hunting revolvers, the Raging Hunter incorporates an integrated cushion insert grip system that significantly reduces felt recoil from the powerful 460 S&W Magnum cartridge. The 6.75-inch ported barrel provides optimal velocity while the vented top rib helps dissipate heat during extended shooting sessions. The matte black oxide finish on both cylinder and frame resists corrosion better than standard bluing.
Key Features
- 460 S&W Magnum chambering delivers 2,400+ ft-lbs of muzzle energy
- 6.75-inch ported barrel maximizes velocity and reduces muzzle rise
- Integrated cushion insert grip absorbs recoil impact
- Matte black oxide steel construction resists wear and corrosion
- 5-round cylinder capacity with simultaneous ejection
- Vented top rib for improved heat dissipation
- Compatible with 454 Casull and 45 Colt cartridges
Field performance centers on the cartridge's ability to take large North American game at extended ranges. The 460 S&W Magnum pushes 200-grain bullets over 2,300 fps, generating sufficient energy for elk, moose, and bear at distances beyond typical handgun ranges. The ported barrel system reduces muzzle jump by approximately 30% compared to non-ported designs. Weather-sealed construction handles moisture and temperature extremes encountered during backcountry hunts.
