    I sized down a 458-340 Lee for a rimless version .
    Of course you can't get a copy of my carefully reproduced example from Mountain Molds at .453-350 RNFP , it's a little longer .

    All of the current 460 load data maxes out at 43-45kpsi with 250s .

    I don't know what you'll be shooting this in but at about 1900 fps in a 16" 95 Mauser in a Boyds Prairie Hunter it stops being any fun at all .

    It will be a S&W 8 3/8" revolver. You can for sure get enough powder in there to drive her pretty fast. I think once I find a mold I like I'll just go pc and send it. See what happens.

    There was a group by from mp-mold for a 340gr solid, if this would be enough.
    There is the result thread of this group buy http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...2-340-hp-solid

    And here the link to the shop:
    HP: https://www.mp-molds.com/product/mp-...-multi-choice/
    Solid: https://www.mp-molds.com/product/mp-...-multi-choice/

    No, I'm not related to Mihec, but happy with his molds.
