mhmranch,

Welcome to HHM. I have the 460 S&W in several guns. The only real caution you need be aware is that not ALL 45 caliber jacketed bullets are the same. What I mean is that most bullets, at least in the pre 454 Cassul and 460 S&W days were manufactured for the more "sedate" 45 Colt ( Long Colt is a misnomer, there never was a 45 Short Colt ). The jackets and cores were softer. These bullets if driven at higher velocities will "fragment." The manufacturers provide information on the recommended "minimum" and "maximum" velocities for their bullets. You will need to determine the max velocity you wish to drive the bullet and select accordingly. I had a helluva time trying to "sight-in" a load using a Rainier 255 grain plated bullet. Just couldn't get it to hit the side of a barn. Then I fired the load in an S&W revolver with ports and had to brush off the jacket fragments from the bench. Rainier does not recommend driving the plated bullets faster then 1200-1400 fps. Using the same bullet and a 460 Star line case with 12.5 grains of Trail Boss makes a great 45 Colt dupe load at about 1200 fps. from my 6 1/2" PC S&W.

Where is the mhm ranch?
