The only 460 load data I could locate was from Hornaday,Hodgdon and Cast Performance for my Encore Bullberry Rifle barrel.No specific data from Speer,Nosler,Sierra or Barnes .Hodgdon has used Nosler,Hornaday,Barnes,Cast Performance and Swift bullets developing loads for the 460.
 
The .500 was about the same way a couple of years ago when it was introduced. I started handloading for it with only Cast Performance Bullet and Cor-Bon data.

Of course, their data was spot on, and worked out well for me.

Have yet to take anything with that big chunk of stainless steel, but it's a lot of fun to shoot. I think your .460 will be a whole lot of fun too, and more data will become avail over time.

Good Luck with that big bore. Regards, Guy
 
thanks Guy Miner i've been using cast perf bullets in my bullberry 20 inch 454 casull rifle barrel for a couple of years now it's back in utah getting rechambered to 460 so I bought new hornaday reloading dies from midwayusa and starline brass that was on a special sale price. i already have sierra,hornaday & some cast perf bullets but i'd like to try the heavier bullets. when i called cast perf i asked if they used the 265gr gc bullets in their loading but they haven't the consensus is it would move on out.i asked tc if they'd rechamber my 454 casull pistol barrel with the unworkable muzzle tamer,they said no can't win.

.460 Smith & Wesson / .460 S&W Magnum (Hodgdon Data)
Warning! Notes: case: Starline; bbl: 10.743"; PR: Winchester LRM; twist: 1:20"; trim: 1.790" - This data was developed with Starline Brass which was designed for use with large rifle type primers. Some brands of brass were designed solely for use with large pistol primers. Check with the manufacturer of the brass for correct primer usage. Rifle primers used in a pistol primer pocket cannot be seated sufficiently deep to be below flush with the casehead, which could result in sympathetic ignition of other rounds in the cylinder during recoil. Such use may result in damage to the firearm and/or result in injury or death of the shooter and/or bystander. Never exceed loads listed.

Be careful with that 460. Do not overdo it (as in # of rounds). They are only good for 1200 rounds or so. They burn out quickly, :shock: a problem not inherent in the 500!
