[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1237272, member: 8873"] If a .460 Weatherby will sling a 400 grain bullet around 2700 fps, I would guess a long throated-long barreled .408-460 would get close. A larger caliber will usually get more velocity with the same weight bullet off the same case than a smaller caliber. There will be a huge difference in bearing surface between a lathe turned copper VLD .408 bullet and a cup and core soft point .460 bullet of the same weight. The longer .408 bullet would also need to be seated way out as not to take up powder space. [/QUOTE]
