Post by: Bofire on January 29, 2015, 09:54:56 AM: yes You can apparently shoot 45 colt, 454 Casull and of course 460, in that 20 in barrel "Kathdan" carbine ( I spelled it wrong) if it shot 410 too, would be a great camp/truck gun.

Post by: Bofire on January 29, 2015, 03:29:15 PM: :) I believe you, but do you know why? base diameter is the same on 45/454/460 rim thickness is the same ? I have seen the 45/410 barrels and I found a Taurus Judge in 454 and 410. just thought this was a natural step???? :dunno: thanks I know the pattern would not be the best, if it will even shoot.

Post by: Bofire on January 29, 2015, 03:45:34 PM: ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, 460 high pressure, much higher than 45colt,,, huge bullet jump if a 410 shell will chamber.
must be it

Yes, you can. I don't know that I'd do it too often though. We tried the 2.5" shells in a 12" Encore barrel that I had in 460 and they fired just fine. The only real issue I have is the plastic fouling that shot shells can leave behind. Firing a full power 460 down a barrel with plastic residue in the rifling has the potential to end poorly!.
