What hunting loads have you worked up for your .460 S&W for hunting. Is there anything Powders to lower the pressure and recoil in the 460? I like the versatility of the 460, 454 and 45 Colt in one gun. Can you duplicate a 45-70 300gr or 350gr load in the 460.

I don't know but think you are on track to duplicate the 45-70. I would stay away from the very high speeds since the caliber was designed to shoot FAR.
Have a friend with one and he shot factory loads for deer. He shot one in PA at 179 yards, I seen the pictures of the worst mangled mess I ever seen!
