[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1232193, member: 90399"] I have a rifle on order that is chambered in 460 S&W Mag. The rifle has a 25 inch barrel. [IMG]https://s12.postimg.org/lzekp2fml/CVA_Its_Just_A_Better_Gun_1456415716.jpg[/IMG] My question comes in that most of the load data I see is for handgun length barrels. And even the T/C area of my reloading manuals usually give data for only a 15 inch barrel. The 460 S&W Mag uses a rifle primer and operates up to 65K PSI. By all rights this is a straight walled rifle cartridge. If I found a comparable rifle cartridge based on bullet weight, pressure, and case volume, could I then use similar rifle powder loads and probably make full use of my 25 inch barrel? Or is that a bad idea? Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
