[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1965428, member: 2736"] Update : I have been wanting to try some 454 ammo In my 460 rifle so I got in a little range time and worked it in. The results were also alarming. The 260 grain Winchester 454 was bumped up from 1800 (Listed) to 2,223 average ft/sec in the rifle.(Over 400 ft/sec). The 395 grain Core bond Hard cast went from 1525 (Advertised) to 2,025 ft/sec in the rifle. I cant wait to load up the 460 with 300, 325 and 395 grain bullets to see what the 300 to 400 ft/sec increase in additional ft/sec and 10 to 15 grains more of case capacity will do in the rifle. if the 460 can (and should reach 2400 with the 395 hard cast) Muzzle energy would be 5053 ft/lbs I would not hesitate to hunt with the 454 ammo in the rifle, based on the velocity and accuracy in the 460. Accuracy hovered around 1 MOA under poor conditions. Cant wait :cool: This was one of the reasons I chose the 460 S&W round. Versatility of a rifle/ pistol that will shoot 3 different levels of cartridges, (The 45 long colt, 454 Casull and the 460 S&W makes it a good range pistol/rifle and a very good hunting combo.
