Indiana will allow rifles used with handgun cartridges. How would a .460 S&W in a 20 inch Thompson Katahdin barrel perform?

RE: .460 S&W as a rifle cartridge
Hey Cubfan56,
The 460 is a fine cartridge and nice deer round.
I have a gun shop in southern Indiana and the lever action rage is on, for sure.
e-mail me at [email protected] perhaps I can help you find something?
I was fortunate to take a nice 8pt this year with my 41 mag 1894 Marlin

Should be fine! Think 'bout it, .other handgun cartridges gain a bit on rifle platform/longer bbls so this one shouldn't be much different. I'll find out myself later this year when the 31 in .460 becomes available.

Thanks for the input , it was pointed out to me that I read the Indiana regulations wrong. Maximum case length can only be 1.625 . I think i can get a a .44 mag or .357 chambered barrel.

I checked with Thompson Center custom shop and they wont chamber a barrel for .454 . so I am probably going to get a .44 mag which will be fine for what I want .
