[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2820943, member: 116181"] I use MGM for my TC barrels. They made me a an 8" 300 BLK that shoots great, it's Hollyweird quiet with subs and suppressor. Any particular reason you chose the 460 S&W for this? I have two revolvers chambered for it so no complaints about the cartridge in general, but you do get better bullet selection in .458 instead of a .452. 45-70 and 450 Bushmaster are straight wall, there's also 458 SOCOM, and all three can get impressive velocities. Hornady does make an FTX flex tip for the .452s, that's what I've been using. You should get continually more velocity from additional barrel length. Pretty much an internet myth that you can have a long enough barrel to actually slow down a supersonic bullet inside a barrel, that takes very particular circumstances. You might not get as much gain per inch in this case as other cases, but if you want to carry the bean pole around there's no harm in it. I shoot long barrels myself for this reason. [/QUOTE]
