I had a short fling with .460 Rowland in a Remington R1 conversion sold direct from Clark Custom. I loaded Precision Delta's 185gr JHP and I used Longshot powder and CCI-LP Magnum primers.

Using just 12.2gr of Longshot, I was clocking an honest 1,435 fps average with these loads. If you look at all of the different 185gr load data from their site, you'll see that my 12.2gr charge was under every start charge they list for all 185's except for the all-copper Barnes slugs that I won't mess with. (all copper slugs are an entirely different animal at the load bench, the rules are different)

My point is that I was using a very conservative charge weight and the pistol was sending bombs down range. It was a blast and we were cracking large rocks in to pieces.

The .460 Rowland is no joke. This is a balls to the wall cartridge.
