I use 357 magnum dies to load my 357 maximums, so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use your 454's for the 460.

It should work just fine. All that really needs to be resized is the mouth of the case anyway in a straight wall case.

My Hornady dies ran out of threads on the expander and when seating bullets.

I like my dies to stay just about the same for a while... would not want to change them .. just want to whip out some ammo and then go empty the brass and do it all again..
