    460 S&W

    Oh my.

    JD done got me some dies in hand and some "magnum" bullets on order.

    I have not looked forward to something with so much anticipation in a long time . . . .

    I think that I am going to need to add some steel to the bullet trap.

    There are published loads saying 300gr at 2250FPS. This is going to be very serious fun!
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    You gotta like a revolver where a .45 Long Colt is like a .22 short and .454 Casull is like a .22 long.

    That surely does not suck.

    No. Believe it or not it would take to long to recover from the recoil to ever win.

    If I remember correctly one round was shot at the pins when JD first got the revolver.

    . . . I had to replace the deflector plate on the front of the table - it was beyond repair (the shot hit low).


    I am figuring a 300gr bullet at 2250 will do quite nicely
























    . . . as a starting load.

    I was just kidding. The thickest steel we have is about 3/4". That certainly isn't going to stop one of those bullets.

    Make one helluva hunting pistol for those places where it's shotgun/pistol only.
