Default RE: .460 Smith&Wesson Loads?

I have a 10.5 performance center Smith in it. I have shoot the 240gr XTP mag with 48gr of H110. Here are my results at 200 yards. I tried loading the 300gr but it was way too much a handfull for me.

I started at 44gr of H110, and the groups got smaller and smaller. I went up to 49gr but figured back down a grain and save my brass. I am kicking well over 2300fps. Big bang bang for deer.

Bad news for this round is if you ever shoot at the edge of dark, you will go blind with muzzleflash. And I did perm damage to my left ear year before last.

Second thing is its rough on scopes. both the 460 and 500 totally trashes em. You have to mount the scope so one ring touches the back of the bell or adjustment piece.

Third, for some strange reason, I can't get it to shoot 45colts near as well. I have no idea why. But no problem, there are tons of reduced cast loads with unique.
