Veral, Will this bullet fly? 460 S&W mag. First i will give you the dimension of this gun. CYL. Lenth 2.2980. Case Lenth 1.7815. Throat Dia. .451. Load data. 38.0gr H110 at 1850fps 45,000 to 50,000 psi. With 300gr bullet GC. So here is what i come up with. 300gr LFN GC bullet. OAL. .757 Nose to crimp .415 Meplat DIA. .325. If you have a better idea that will fly better please tell me i would like to make and order soon. Thanks for your help......

  Ya.   If you are estimating velocity based on jacketed, you are probably at least 200 fps low on velocity and at least 10,000 psi high on pressure.  Also the nose length is too long to get enough lube on the bullet.

  Given such high velocity potential, with is far more than needed to get fast kills, you'd do well to get a 340-350 gr bullet, which will probably deliver at least 1850 fps with this gun and all that powder. The gun is a complete stranger to me.  For comparison though, 454 will drive a 350 gr at 1700 fps comfortably, and it appears the .460 has a lot more powder room.
