I advise anyone who likes the ballistics of the 200 grain FTX to try out the 200 grain Barnes XPB. It's just as accurate, and I'd trust it to perform better on game than the FTX.
Only downside is they're expensive.

I meant to post these earlier, but what the heck. . . In case you ever wonder just how intense the 460's muzzle flash is:

Only downside is they're expensive. I HAVE USED THE BARNES 200gr BULLET EXTENSIVELY ON DEER (OF ALL KINDS), HOGS, SHEEP AND AOUDAD IN MY 10 1/2 INCH PC GUN (COR-BON AMMO) AND IT IS AN EXCELLENT GAME BULLET, NO "KNOCK DOWN" POWER BUT THE ANIMALS USUALLY GO LESS THAN 50 YARDS. THE COR-BON AMMO CHRONO'ed FASTER THAN THE HORNADY AMMO.

Good info on the Barnes bullet. I'm going to hunt this season with the Hornady factory load, save my brass, and possibly work up a load with the xpb next spring.
The meat won't fry if the lead don't fly.

Has anyone tried the Lehigh bullets? My 460 is in a 15 inch Encore barrel.

I've tried the Extreme Penetrator Bullet from Lehigh in my 500 S&W Okie Hunter..very similar performance to other monolithic solids

Franchise, thanks for the info. I'm thinking of trying the 250 grain Extreme Penetrator in my 15 inch 460 and 12 inch 454 for deer and hogs. Has anyone tried these?
