I have a stock of 240 and 300gr Hornady XTP Mags for the 460. Haven't tried the 300 grainers yet but it seems to like the 240's.

Powder: H110 at 47.5gr if I recall. I used Hodgdon's loading data and when I pushed to .5gr under max I had extraction issues with 3 out of a cylinder full. I'm told my throats are likely on the tight side compared to some.

Dollars to donuts your 500 seemed a bit more tamed compared to your 454 due to two factors: Weight and porting. Firing 454 level stuff from my 460 while definitely letting you know you are sending some HP is noticeably milder than full 460 loads. Not night and day, but you can tell the difference. Granted, the rounds I am speaking of were Winchester "Reduced Recoil" 460 Mag loads, but going by the stated velocity on the box they are right on par with the Casull. The heft and compensator or porting on the X-frame really tames the Casull down.

My 460 only seems slightly more punchy than my 4" m29 with full house loads in each. What gets you with my shorter barreled 460v is the concussion that hits you in the face. Guaranteed to clear stopped up sinuses in three rounds or less.
