[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1263383, member: 90399"] Hey Derkster. All 3 (450 Bushmaster, 45 Raptor, and 460 S&W Magnum) use .452 caliber pistol bullets. I've also noticed that 45 caliber muzzle loader bullets are .452 and have tried them in my 460 S&W Mag rifle. 45-70, 458 SOCOM, 458 Win Mag, etc all use the .458 rifle bullets. Just to update this thread in general, I still own both the TC Encore in 460 S&W Mag and the 450 Bushmaster. The 450 BM is much more consistent and easier to find accurate ammo for. The TC in 460 is very picky with ammo and even frustrating at times. But I do love how lightweight and nimble that TC Encore is. I had 2 inches cut off the barrel and had a brake installed so now the recoil is fine. I purchased the 460 S&W Mag as a hunting rifle and thought I probably wouldn't use it much outside of hunting season. But the opposite ended up being true. I grab it almost anytime I'm going to the range. It is pretty much the most fun to shoot free hand at jugs of water. Makes a HUGE boom and the water jugs freakin blow up like no other when using the 200gr Hornady bullets. It is honestly impressive. At this point I plan to keep both my 450 BM and my 460 S&W Mag rifles. Although I added another "potential" firearm to my hunting arsenal. I haven't actually decided if I'm going to try it on whitetail or not yet. It's a Glock 40 MOS. It's 10mm with a 6 inch barrel and a Burris FF3 red dot. [/QUOTE]
