Title: 460 S&W and pics
Post by: buck man on February 11, 2013, 09:48:31 PM: Okay did a little research and finally bought the hand cannon. Got some ammo and can't wait to shoot it. Ordered dies, some lead, and brass. Can't wait to reload. :tup:

Does anyone have experience reloading? What is your favorite recipe? Powder?

Have you shot 454 casul through it? How about 45 long colt?

This is for you iceman :chuckle: my beauty with a few 200 grain hornady ftx's@ 2200fps.

Instead of shooting 454 Casul or 45 Colt ammo in there, try running 460 brass and just loading them with Trail Boss powder. Your cases will last forever using Trail Boss and your loads will duplicate lite 45 Colt ammo.

Post by: b23 on April 01, 2013, 10:15:15 AM: That is a fine looking pistol. Congrat to you!

I sometimes wish I had bought the 460 instead of the 500. With the 460, it gives you more options to shoot a little less expensive ammo than does the 500.

These hand cannons sure are a lot of fun to shoot. I've never shot anything but "stuff" with mine but every time I pull the trigger I think how bad it would hurt and how big a mess it would make if I ever shot and animal with it.

Enjoy your new cannon and shoot it as often as you can. They sure are a lot of fun to shoot that's for sure!!! Congrats again and enjoy. :tup:

Post by: MarkDozier on April 04, 2013, 01:33:44 AM: I just shot one. 14 inch barrel with comp. No recoil but it just about 8 or some inches. A total pleasure to shoot.
