I knew they could be close, but did not know they could exceed the 460 ballistics. Thanks for the correction..

Makes me wonder what the 460 is capable with custom loading..
My comment wasn't in any way intended to dump on the .460. Being second fiddle to the king of the hill is no insult.

If I wanted to do long range handgun hunting, I'd use a .460 with a bipod and scope. Don
