cyl locks up tighter too. Forcing cone looks better with its machining.

Muzzle crown is cut more precisely. l shoot with people who compete

using Freedom Arms revolvers.. Those are Masterpieces in fit, finish, and

precision... My 460PC is equal to the FA.. Not so with the typical ''N''

frame.


My only gripe w/SW 460s is shooting short cases in them. Almost impossible

to get the cylinder clean after shooting 45 COLTS in mine. l learned

the hard way on that.. Now l shoot reduced 45 Colt loads in 460 brass.

l simply use a card wad over the powder. lt fools the bullet and powder.

They think they are in a 45 Colt case..


I have a 454 Casull already. But I prefer the Magnum over the lighter loads. I'd use the 460 XVR specifically for hunting.

I have cast a wide net for one, checking with a few local people who sell them here. After a little bit of research, I may do a 8.5 or 10" barrel.
