    .460 Rowland time

    After hearing about the 460 from Spyder... I just had to look into it.
    Next thing you know, I've got one of my G21's converted over, got a bunch of starline brass, and I'm working up my first loads.

    Since the only 45 bullets I have on-hand at the moment are Xtreme's... I'm trying them out. (proper FMJ's are on the way, I'll work up a load for those later.)

    For starters, I'm going with Longshot (have lots on-hand for 10mm), 230gr round nose Xtreme's, and an OAL of 1.250. Trying out from 9.0 to 10.3 grains, at .1 grain intervals.

    Normally I crank out metric crap-tons of 9, 40, 10mm, 45, etc... but with this cartridge, the pressure variants seem to be finicky, so it's one-at-a-time like Juan Valdez's coffee beans.

    If anyone has a 460 recipe using longshot handy, please share!

    That is what I keep hearing. It is difficult to get consistent loadings.

      Oh and just go ahead and order another Glock Frame.

      I don't care what you are using .460 destroys it eventually.

      Other folks seem to get a year or two out of their Glock Frames.

        So far so good.

        1220 fps @ 10.3 grains. Very nice boom... the noise and fury I was hoping for.

          Wait till you get in the 13 gr .. that's when the magic happends. I prefer the 185 hornady xtp. if you run power pistol you can see some nice fire balls

                Haha awesome. I just got a pound of power pistol yesterday so I can load up my 150 CEB raptor and 200 CEB solids.
