Bulls, have you done tests to confirm that 1" is all it needs to impart spin and stability on a bullet? Please don't be offended when I ask what is your source of information on this. It just seems both of us are going by limited experiences and hunting shop conversatons. Possibly a good question for full time pistol shooters like Mike V or Brian Pearce from Wolfe publishing.
Ransom rest? Right up my alley. Ok, so lets take my 460 and shoot 45 colts thru it. And use a ransome rest. I am game.

If you have one I would be very interested in seeing the results. Keep in mind that your 460 has gain twist rifling in it that starts out at 1 in 100" and ends up at 1 in 20" at the muzzle. To eliminate all variables you would need to have both firearms exactly the same except for barrel length.
My 460 is perf center so its not gain twisted.

Big country i admit that you are a knowledgeable reloader, your approach to my post was what I commented on, you gave the correct answer just not to my question, i did read about making dummy rounds but my question was is there a way to set it exactly as in without dummy rounds. You were entirely correct in what you said, i didnt mean any offense you just came off like i was dumb or shouldnt be reloading. I apologize if i offended you but i say it how i think it. I do appreciate your help on the subject.
