I see that there is a thread here on the .500 caliber. So I thought this'd be a good place to start a thread on the .460 caliber.
I've shot both the .S&W .500 and the .460 XRV revolvers. I liked the .460 so much that I went and bought one, (It has, how shall I put it? a shaper, but less violent recoil than the .500.) Kinda like a two bladed broadhead arrow point vs. a four bladed one in opening a wound channel on a game animal.
The .460 handles [if you don't already know] three diffrent cartridges the .45 LC, the .454 Casull and the .460 cartridge. Which brings me to my question.
I can easily find reloading data for the .460 & the .45 LC with a 200 gr. bullet, but none on the .454 Casull useing the 200 gr. bullet in either lead or copper coated projectile.Why is that?
According to what I've been reading the "preferred" bullet weight for the .460 is predicted to be a 200 gr bullet. And since the .454 Casull cartridge can also be fired from the .460, one would think that loads for the .454 Casull would also include a load using the 200 gr. bullet.
If anyone knows of any such data I ask that you please post the location --- on this forum.
