460V cylinder machining for moon clips

[CH4]

Does someone make moon clips that would work in the 460?

TK Custom

Once set up for clips you can also shoot 45 Raptor

But the .460 S&W Magnum is a 65,000 PSI Max cartridge, nearly twice the pressure of anything and everything else that gets moonclipped. (and like triple the pressure of .45 ACP)

Machining for moon clips does not change the cylinder strength.

No but it moves the cartridge case further out of the cylinder where it was formerly surrounded 360 degrees by chamber steel.

That same area of cartridge case would now be exposed to nothing on one side and a spring steel clip on the other side.

I'll repeat-- TK Custom are professionals, but this seems ludicrous to me.

it could also handle the 45 Super with ease, but that feels a bit silly in a 460...

I shoot a S/W 460 { 5" bbl. } and I've shot .460, .454 Casull, .45 LC and for plinking, .45 Schofield ,as well as packing HSM " Bear Loads " for going up into the mountains. All in both new factory ammo or my reloads. For me, these 4 calibers cover all the bases from full house to light target loads and have no need to change anything.
