[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1385305, member: 2736"] Weight is your friend when using the 460 S&W round. The contenders are light compared to the big revolver and I can honestly say the encore would be brutal with out a good muzzle brake. I have a contender(I know its lighter) but recoil is almost unmanageable when using the 265 grain bullets in the 444 marlin its chambered for. I have owned almost every caliber and cartridge for the TCs and one of the ones that did not work in the pistol was the 45/70. It had tons of recoil and very little energy and velocity in the pistol because of the loading. I love the 45/70 and have rifles that can be loaded up harder than factory loads but the cases cant take pressure over the max 40,000 cup's. The 460 is a true high pressure pistol cartridge like the 454 Casull and ether will out do the 45/70 by a large margin. It is basically a rifle cartridge that does fine with rifle powders and low pressures. The SAMME pressures for the 45/70 are 28,000 cup's to 40,000 cup's. the 460 S&W is 65,000 PSI's the same as modern Magnum rifles . The 460 S&W pushes a 200 grain bullet (Factory load) to2409 ft/sec In my short barreled rifle it exceeds 2900 ft/sec. In fact it is almost the ballistic equal in the pistol as the 450 bushmaster is in a rifle. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
