Long ago in a galaxy far away I found the original load data for the cartridge when it was introduced. A 200 grain Hornady ftx over 52 grains of H110. People gasped as this is not what is written anymore and I must be crazy. Well today I found it using the way back machine. The link is dead and is good for researching on archive engines only: 404 Page Not Found - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc
Please enjoy this beautiful piece of history.

Thats the exact same load printed in my Hornady 9th edition as well so not terribly hidden.
I tried out that load about 10years ago, among other hot rod loads, but just couldnt really hold a string of 5 together without a terrible flinch so I backed off as my data was skewed.
I still have a myriad of 460sw loads to bring out on camping trips when my friends and family want early onset Hand and wrist arthritis.
