I just got a new 460 and I'm looking for any pet loads that any of you guys might have. I'm running H4350 right now but I have varget, cfe223, rl16 and a bunch of other stuff so let me know what you got. I'm interested in 350gr on up to the the 500 and up.
 
Here is one of my game loads and one that I shoot quite often.

CASE: Weatherby 460 Magnum

PRIMER: Federal 215

POWDER: H-4895 / 105.0 grains

BULLET: Hornady 350 gr. Round Nose
 
You're welcome.

You should be able to have a lot of fun with the above mentioned load. I shoot it in a custom 460 Weatherby Magnum with a 31" barrel plus the addition of a muzzle brake.

Velocity exceeds 3,000 fps. and as far as recoil goes, I have shot several rifles chambered in 30-06 that had a more brutal recoil than what this rifle has got.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
