The pressures of the 460 Rowland are well in excess of the 45ACP/45ACP+P

Even though the cartridge overall length allows it to be used in 45ACP magazines, the 460 Rowland is a longer cartridge case.

So if you fired a 45ACP+P in there, handling the pressure will be no big deal, but you would be headspacing on the extractor instead of having the case mouth against the end of the chamber. So you do run the risk of a light strike on the primer
The brass is 1/8 longer so it will not fit in a standard 45acp but you seat the bullet the same as standard 45acp. I have a comp barrel in the pile if needed and was thinking you could make the chamber 1/8 deeper <Not sure how Clark does that-his kit is $400>-- and use the 460 brass to safely make a 1100 fps 45 acp+p load that wont fit another gun. I have the stuff but don't care about +p loads. All I care about is what it takes to make the tightest 10 shot group.
