[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1271962, member: 90399"] What state do you live in? I'm growing into a 460S&W Magnum fan! I have an 18" TC chambered in one. I'm getting some stupidly high velocity with a ton of muzzle energy. Even in a rifle (albeit it only weighed barely over 4 lbs) the recoil was "substantial". It was substantially more recoil than my Rem 870 shooting 3 inch slugs. However, a muzzle brake worked wonders on the cartridge because it's so high pressure. Now it's one of my favorite range toys in addition to a lightweight brush gun. All of my friends love shooting it... (as long as I'm buying the ammo). The 460 doesn't need custom reloading dies. Reloading data is available. It's a cartridge that I feel will be around for a long time so no worries of supplies drying up or support for the cartridge diminishing. Even though it's expensive, if needed you can always find store bought ammo for the 460 also. I suggest reloading. If you want to just plink with it, you can also shoot 45 LC or 454 Casull out of the same firearm. So it's versatile! The 357 Maximum made my short list also. But I'm glad I went with the 460. Now if someone were to come out with a 357 caliber cartridge with a 1.8" case length (MI straight walled cartridge limit) that operates at 65,000 psi; I would jump on that in a heartbeat.
