I have a 5'' 460S&W at home, has not been shot much as I have been away since buying it...
Can anyone offer advice on the following questions?:
Lead bullets. At roughly what point is it unsafe to fire copper jacketed rounds (like the 200gr Hornady's) after shooting lead. I have some 395 grain lead thumpers that are rated at 1525 fps. How many lead rounds can I shoot before its unsafe (due to pressure concerns I assume?) to fire the 200gr Hornady SST's?
Optics mounting... What are you guys using for optics mounts? Whats available? I'd like to mount a scope (undecided on a model as of yet) or one of my Aimpoint T1's...Is there a good Picatinny/1913 rail section that can be mounted on my 5''?
And finally, for the 5'' barrel, what realistic velocities am I looking at for the 395 grain lead bullets, and the 200 grain SST's?
Anyone know of a Forum, that has been a good cache of knowledge for the 460? Seems a little thin pickings here on THR, but I don't really know where else to look for this format of firearm.
