460 ROWLAND data needed

[Faret]

Need some data for a 460 ROWLAND. Have the lee 228 gr mold the one that looks like a fmj with aluminum pb gas checks installed. Powders on hand h110, 800X, Unique, and clays. Thanks in advance.

I have collected some .460 Rowland data in my quest to find .45-08 info of which there isn't much. I did find .45 Super and .460 rowland info that I saved for comparison though so some may be useful to you.

I am hoping to get it all sorted out in the next few days to get going on .45-08 development. I don't think I saved any of the links but but I did download some reloading info.

What exactly are you looking for... load data, conversion data or both? The .460 Rowland seems to be a more involved conversion than .45-08 or .45 Super but also provides more oomph in the end.

Let me know what info you are looking for and I will see what I have. Of course there may be someone here that can enlighten you more than I can too.

Just looked and I do have a couple of articles on .460 Rowland as well as some load data but here is a link to Real Guns which which describes the conversion and has load data:

I don't have any first hand experience so this is the best I can do.

Trying to work up a load with the powders listed. But have no place to start. Have a chrono and can check velocitys just need a starting place.

Here is all I have that may be useful. This was downloaded from the internet so use cautiously. I have a couple of articles but no other load data.

I am sure someone here will have some tried and true load data to share.

Be real careful about using published loads they are tested on a platform using a brake and a 24# recoil spring. I would try using high end 45acp loads until the action will cycle and carefully work from there.

Thanks for the info.
