If I want to send less horsepower downrange, I shoot a different revolver chambered in something with less horsepower.
You can use reduced 460 but use caution. Only a few powders are suitable for reduced loads in the very large 460 S&W case. Stay away from H110, W296 and similar powders if you want to make reduced rounds. I believe Western Powders has a "reduced loads" section for the 460 that utilizes powders other than what are considered "ideal" for max power out of the 460.

What grain weight and powder do you use for the 460?
I shot the 500 but the recoil feels a little less stout than the 454 Casull. Maybe it's less muzzle flip. I don't know. I didn't shoot the 454 today with the Smith 500. I shot the 500 with my 44 Magnum. The 44 felt like a 38+P.
