Yep, and you can get a loan reamer and make it into a .454 Casull really easy.
 
Mine shoots the .45LC and .454 equally well.

The guys got it right, she is factory made on a SB2 reciever. My own is re chambered to 454 and is a great shooter.

ive already reamed mine out to 454, but has anyone gone to 460 s&w. if so, where do i get the reamer and how were the results? this means i can use rifle barrels on this reciever which is definitely a plus since i dont have many sb2s.

Tim, (Quickdtoo) did. he shoots and enjoys his 460.  I believe out site sponsor, and site supporter 4D reamer rentals can take care of the reamer rental. But I have not looked to be sure.
 
Personally, I don't have the need, they will do nothing my 45-70 doesn't already and likely not as well to boot! My 45 Colts have done everything I needed. But the top loadings simply work better in a 454 case. So I went to 454, but not for more power, simply for more efficiency.

As CW said, 4D has the reamer, in fact Fred has it because I kept pestering him to get one, I was the first to rent it from him! Factory Hornady 200gr FTX ammo averages almost 2900fps in the 20" 460 barrel, 250gr SST(FTX) around 2500-2600fps.
