Look at those beautiful magnum pistol powders. H110 and IMR 4227 are two of my favorites. I just love loading up magnum pistol cartridges and shooting out in the desert.

I need to load some 480 Ruger. I picked up a Blackhawk a while back but haven't loaded for it yet. I'm going to use H110 as well.

Have fun and be safe.

I saw the H 110 and 4227 and I went to, Yeah, 460 S&W!

Have several hundred loads ready to go, this is an inspiration to go out and blast some as I have not shot it in over a year....:(

with Primers being so expensive, minus well shoot the good stuff!

.460 is my all around fun and completely impractical. I flinch SO bad after the 1st shot, I probably could not hit a VW 10 feet away…

Curious about .500 SW…. More fun than .460? I have a 460V

Yeah, the big boys are real flinch machines. I have to really concentrate on trigger control when I’m actually trying to shoot for accuracy.
I have managed ragged one hole groups at 25 yards with the 460 and hit 6-8” targets at 100 yards with it, but I have to be on my game to do it. Same with all of my big bores. I’ve hit 8” targets at 100 with my Desert Eagle and I’ve hit 12” targets at 200 with one of my 44 mags. I’ve never tried to stretch the 500 out that far, only to about 65 yards.
As far as 460 vs 500, the 460 is way louder and has more concussion. The 500 hits you quite a bit harder in the hands with most loads, especially the 500-700 grain loads. I enjoy shooting them about equally though.

You make me want to get a .500! But I told myself that if I didn’t die in 2020 (Aliens not CooFloo) I would buy a Les Baer and become a FUDD .45. Already bought a Colt .45… So I can’t buy anymore guns Until I get a Les Baer.

Anyways, let me look up my .460
load that I shoot:

300gn coated
40g of H110
2.155” with a extra heavy Crimp

240G XTP
45g H110
2.190” with a extra heavy Crimp
 
BTW: Did not chrono it because I didn’t want to buy a new Chrono again . I probably would have shot it… again

A friend's wife bought him a 500 for his birthday.
He offered me a shoot at our friends cabin one day.
]WOW, I said, I gotta get me one of these.
Well, time later the 460 came out and the rest is history....

that .460 is better than coffee! You shoot it and the everything else feels like a .22 short
