Hello
Thanks in advance to any insight you may give us.

My son just ordered a S&W 460 Revolver with a 5" barrel.Its his college graduation present to himself. Thiswill be our first dealings with this caliber. The gun will be used a few times for whitetail, but mainly as a pack gun for camp and bowhunting in big bear country.

This gun shoots 45 colt, 454 casull and 460.

1) is the 45 colt the one thats often labeled 45 colt(long colt)?
2) do these three calibers taketwo different sets of RCBS carbide dies, the 45 colt(LC) and 454 casull? Which die does the 460 use?
3) which caliber uses the .451 dia bullet and which uses the .452 dia bullet? Or can those two dia bullets be used in any of the three calibers as long as the brass matches the bullet dia.?
4) Any recommended manuals covering reloading info for this gun/calibers?
5) Since he wants to set up bullets for general plinking with thelowest recoil possible at first,(before working himself to hunting loads)which caliber should he get set up to reload first and any recommended loads?

Thanks again.

Dan
