buck,
you are correct the 200 is loaded in the 460 S&W,but it's a SST.
My supplier I ordered from only had the 200 and 250FTX.I was going to go with the 250 but it's designed for the .450Bushmaster(no cannelure),the 200 has cannelures.Hornady offers in their factory loaded ammo a 225 FTX in the Colt but not in componet form that I'm aware of.
I figure the 200 grain FTX will offer me great accuracy,energy,penetration and expansion out of my carbine and revolver.I also think it will be very effective on whitetail out to 100 yards from the carbine.I'm going to keep researching before I set down at the bench and start load developement.But thank you for the reply and if anyone can think of any starting loads,I'll greatly appreciate it.
