Having said that Im also making a 460SW pump so with both of those to come to market in these fabulous calibers I wanted people to have a choice of some amazing bullets to go with their amazing equipment and started to to @Fort Scott Munitions for their tumbling technology for 100% energy transfer in many cases although I suspect a 600-700gn may go through quite a lot of think skinned animals.

These are going to be some fun with the biggest of the bangers out there!
Fort Scott Munitions .4565 300grain Handgun Projectile
The .4565 bullet mentioned above is not usable in 460 S&W, it is intended for .458 rifle bores such as 45-70. Be a monolith copper projectile it would require machining to be usable in the 460 S&W.

If your looking for a copper monolith hunting bullet Barnes has 4 suitable choices, 200, 225, 250, and 275 XPB bullets. Cutting Edge has several choices, 240 handgun raptor and a 300 grain soild. My personal favorite is NorthFork Technologies 260 CPS (Cup Point Solid).

I have used all of them successfully in the field.

be safe
