For what it is worth, a 240 grain would be overkill for an antelope. The animal is called “Turbo-Goat” because of its speed and size.
IMHO, a 310 grain is more of a “Hail Mary” round for a brown bear attack scenario.
Having shot .44 mag since college (back when Jesus wore short pants) my wrist can take a maximum hand load and a Lee 310 grain bullet when I use a Dan Wesson revolver with the same length barrel the author of the article used.
He is a better man on recoil than I when he chose that light weight, short barrel .44 mag and that load.
Felt recoil may well be similar to or likely greater than a 7.5” Super Redhawk .454.
“...back when Jesus wore short pants...”
That is the funniest thing I’ve heard to describe “back in the day”...haha!!!
I’ve shot big bore rifles, handguns, etc., and I’m not a fan of the recoil. I had a .45-70 Marlin 1895G for a few years, and that was a bear.
I stick to 7.62 and 5.56 now for rifle work (I also like .30-06, .303, 7.92x57 and 7.62x54R).
Handguns, I stick with .45 and 9mm.
Buddy of mine has a SW .460 handgun... frigging thing is a cannon.
