Does anyone know if 45 Colt dies will work to load 460 S&W mag brass? I haven't tried this yet, but I thought I would ask here if anyone has done this before going to the bother of setting everything up. No use re-inventing the wheel... my 45 Colt brass shoots fine in the 460, but for some reason the die sets are listed as different.
Thanks,

I'm thinking it will only partial resize the 460 case making 2nd/subsequent reloads experience an issue of chambering. I do have'em both having started out w/just the 45LC dies but the hassel of resetting the crimping die etc was a bigger problem than the $ for the correct dies ~ Lee dies are indeed affordable.
