A friend has done his homework and field testing with his bullets on elk in CO he hunts with a 300 Weatherby firing Nosler 165gr solid base bullets using IMR 4831 powder at 3400fps drops his cows,only shot a couple of bulls prefers good tasting meat not rank.
I loaded 220gr PT(2760fps) for my 300wm Sako Finnsport for a bison hunt but didn't use them, wish I had cause the 180gr sierra game kings didn't penetrate until I got 1 shot under the rib cage into the vitals.Retrieved small pieces of the sierra bullets from the ribs just inside of the...

I have a 454 casull 20" Encore Bullberry rifle barrel with no problems.It's in his shop being converted to 460.Sometimes it pays to buy TC barrels because of their lifetime warranty you can get them from http://www.midwayusa.com .

This proves 'tis best to do some research before one makes a purchase I checked thoroughly before purchasing a Sig P220 in 45acp learning they were rated for +P ammo.

TC Encores 3 receivers:15" 30-06 & 454 casull barrels.Load 06 with 130 & 150gr bullets more comfortable shooting,in the 454 I shoot my 45lc handloads not as much recoil .
The only 460 load data I could locate was from Hornaday,Hodgdon and Cast Performance for my Encore Bullberry Rifle barrel.No specific data from Speer,Nosler,Sierra or Barnes .Hodgdon has used Nosler,Hornaday,Barnes,Cast Performance and Swift bullets developing loads for the 460.
