I'm chronographing 2700 fps with mine, and it's actually shortened to 19" to eliminate the front sight when a muzzle break was added. It's one heck of a deer killer now! With a Nikon Monarch scope this factory Ammo groups well under an inch at 100 yards and dropp[ed an Indiana doe in her tracks at a measured 167 yards. Sweet!

All come on guy! My daughters 16 and 22 years old shoot my 460 S&W in 5" and 2-3/4" barrels all the time, using off the shelf loads and have no problems with making good hits on their targets every time. I started teaching them both how to shoot when they turned 4 years old. Doing hand and arm work to strengthen their arms and grips before they ever held a handgun. So that the weight of the gun wouldn't be as much of an issue for them. We live in a part of Alaska where seeing 4-5 bears in a day is a common thing. It's all in your hold and grip of the handgun; push-up, pull-ups, and core body exercises are essential to having a strong, healthy body to mitigate any recoil of any just about any handheld firearm. I started them off young with firearms, just as my dad started me off at a young age handling, learning and manipulating guns with him being a Korean and Vietnam Veteran. Yep, you guessed it, I'm military also and have an extensive education and experience in combat arms from the hardest and best schools in the world's best US military service :-) Thanks

I'm rocking the S&W 460V in 5.5 inch barrel, no problem, love it! I'm in bear country so that's my main use.

you can also load .454casaul .45 long colt inthe .460

And 45 Schofield, 45 autorim, and 45 cowboy special...😉

The S&W 460 platform that has the most muzzle flip is the snub nose S&W 460 Emergency Survival (yellow hand grips). The snubnose 460 is definitely a handful but still is a blast to shoot

The 460 sw mag pistol is not bad to shoot, similar to a 44 mag for recoil. A true 200 yd pistol. The 45 raptor based off the 460 is a deer hammer. I get up to 3000 fps with the 200 gr ftx and not much recoil.

One of my favorite barrels for my Encore, too. I love this barrel!

Nicely done gentlemen... That is one sweet 460 !!

Came across your post and was pleased to see somebody else had the same idea. I have a TC Encore in SW-460 I had built about two years ago and yes its a handful but a real predictable shooter. Bullberry did my work and I added some custom lumber to the build for a one of a kind look.

You mention early in the video that the bullet was "point four six". It is not. They are .451, which means the rifle will also shoot 45 Schofield, 45 Colt and 45 Casull. One of the most versatile calibers out there.

Just ordered a 4570 want that 460 barrel excited to see it shot at distance great vid

That’s a sweet rifle I had a S$W 460 XVR it’s was manageable but spooky and wicked..

For the sake of the people that take this man literally, there is an enormous amount of the initial explosion in the 460 S&W XVR revolver platform that the shooter doesn't feel. This is due the the gap between the cylinder and the forcing cone on the revolver that is unavoidable for the revolver to "be a revolver." This Thompson single shot platform would ballistically be superior from the full power of the explosion propelling the projectile down the barrel, an even longer barrel for that matter. Hope that helps clear things up for those who are unfamiliar and think that the revolver platform is incredibly brutal, it's very powerful, but not unmanageable. Cheers.

Love it! Thanks for the video!

The Thomson Center pistol version, the performance center model, in the 460 is actually a lot more manageable than you would think. Also they are insanely accurate.

Travis VanMeer The longer barrel definitely increases the pressure of the fast burning powder.

I have had a custom setup on my pro hunter for 460SW since 2012. I can say without a doubt that it is one of the hardest hitting hunting options in my safe. I have taken deer out to 150 yards with no hold over and all have fallen right in their tracks. I went with Match Grade Machine barrel 24" in length, 300GR XTP-Mag on top of 40GR of Lil' Gun powder. I am getting right at 2300fps with this setup and 3/4" groups at 100. Any faster and there is key holing and all the other rounds I have tried other than the XTP-Mag experience odd failures of the jacket due to excessive heat buildup on the way out the 24" barrel. I wasn't able to find any factory loads that would work in my setup.

I would love to get one of these. I do have the S&W 469 SVR revolver. Fun gun to shoot.

Great job young man

Yup, have this Katahdin in both the .460/.500 S&W, GREAT RIFLES

Nearly every video about the .460 S/W shows guys shooting it with the LIGHT 200 grain Hornadys.How about shooting some Buffolo-Bore 360 grain cast-core sledgehammer or 395 grain cast-core super-slegehammers??.

Higher velocity

I got it in the 50 caliber muzzle. I think it's a 22" and it comes only with a conservative muzzle break. It's very consistent and very powerful

Wish you could augment with velocity and energy at two or three distances, maybe find the .460's supersonic range limit & drop in the T/C Encore Pro Hunter Katahdin 20" carbine and the S&W 14" .460 XVR, particularly for that speedy Hornady 200gr FTX.

I bought a 460 barrel for my encore last year and no problem reaching out 150 yards. I took 4 deer last year and it does a number. I was using the 200 gr hornady FTX. Best I could find out the FTX hornady 200 gr bullet is shooting faster than a 30-06

Iron sight shooting is very satisfying....

One of my deer rigs is a t/c contender pistol in 45/70 with 14 inch barrel. It's not for the faint of heart

Great video so what did you guys end up doing ?? Optic ?? No optic ?? If so how far were you shooting ?? Perhaps a follow up video is in order here !! Come on y’all don’t need any more reason to go to the range !! Thanks for sharing I got mine last week but it’s -18 outside right now so , I’ll be here at the house till later on !! Enjoying these videos thanks again

What rings and base set up would you recommend? I have the 500 and I'm having trouble with everything staying tight.

I have one of these with the older stock thats NOT recoil dampening. Shooting the same ammo you guys use and the recoil is not as bad as you all say. The recoil is similar to a 30-30. Or a .243.

I have S&W PC with a 3.5" barrel, using the same 200 grain Honady ammo. I can hit fairly consistent groups at 50 yards with it. I just got a gen 1 Contender with a 10" 30-30 barrel and stock furniture that it more punishing. Put a Decelerator grip on it but haven't tried it out yet.

Nice...just bought a prohunter in 25-06(had it rechambered to 257 Wby mag),with a 50 cal inline barrel....I like the idea of the short barrel...I've owned all three calibers(45-70,460,and 500)so I have reloaded all 3...which would be your pick for 200 yrd hunting for deer,black bear,and pigs? Oh,i would definitely put a low powered variable on it...open sights and red dots will NOT let you "thread"your bullets through the brush(learned that the hard way)

The caliber of 460 S&W Is not .46 as stated in your video. The caliber is .452; the same as 454 casull, 45 colt and 45 ACP.

I have two 460 s&w revolvers. 8 3/8ths and the 14 inch barrels. I also have it on my tc pro hunter and I will say the barrel you are shooting is more recoil than eather of my revolvers. I can shoot both revolvers with one hand because of the muzzle breaks.

Burris has some great optic options for that set up.

picked this up in 460 S&W and bought a 30-06 stainless fluted barrel , pretty cool system now with 2 barrels I have 4 guns ... well kinda lol

Really enjoyed the video. I do have the 460 w/8+ barrel and the 500 with the 4 in barrel. They are a handful especially the 500. The ammo at the time was about 60 bucks for 20. My marlin guide gun reminds me of the maneuverability but it is heavier. For the 500; shoot low ricochet's definitely count. Reloading all my ammo now and a 4 or 500 gr bullet will eat up asphalt or gravel. My hands and wrists have always been able to handle it. But I do want a 460 and 500 rifle like that. Not a young strong animal. thanx............drafted in 69

Starting last year, and probably continuing for the next 10 I'll have young hunters with me. Last year I took my .44 mag and let them shoot, I just stood by for clean up if they made a bad shot. Honestly this rig wouldn't any harder to carry, and it would give me a much better implement. Darn it Ebbs! You're gonna make my wallet thin!

Shawn Wilson Haha it's a pretty wicked setup!

The LeverRevolution rounds are designed for lever action rifles and the velocities are with either an 18 or 20 inch lever action rifle test platform in other calibers, maybe for 460 they change that? I do not know. I use the .45-70 versions of this ammo and it says on the box.

Can you fire 454 Casul or 45 long colt from that barrel? I know a 460 SW revolver can fire 454 and 54 long ?

"Maybe that's a sign!?" "No it's not!" 😂

Super 16 in 45/70 factory Magnaported & G2 frame with wood stock/ forend .VX3 2.5 x 8 Leupold , is also a handful. I sold an italian Sharps, got my setup , and very happy. ( happy eyes)

smith makes a 460 with a 3" barrel that l really want, but l have wanted a contender for a long time too

I have a custom barrel 460 s & w from bully balls. It's a 12" barrel intergal muzzle brake. I was surprised that I got 2600 fps out of it. I have taken doe hunting with it useing 200 grains Hornady ftx Each doe were taken at around average of 100 yards. None required a follow up shot and no tracking job, they all drop in their tracks. The recoil wasn't that bad while taking the doe (hunting) I notice the recoil while sighting in the pistol at 2" high at 100 yards. It well take my skin off my trigger fingers at each recoil from the trigger guard. Quick fix. I put a leather rap on the trigger guard where the guard was hitting my finger. I reload 200 grains Hornady ftx and I'm very happy with this set up. I have no problems with my pro Hunter. I bought the pro Hunter (frame only)when they first came out and I have to this day. I have bought other pistol barrels.theys just one I didn't like that's is a 378 gnr. Tried selling it no one wants it even the company I bough from don't even want back as a trade for something else. It's just sitting some where collect dust.( Just the barrel not the whole pistol )

I just ordered a 250 count of brass in .45 RAPTOR which is basically the 460 S&W in a rimless cartridge. I only need a muzzle device for the AR-10 I built for that caliber.

You said "good bye" to the 500 S&W why? I've got a 500S&W Pistol and have been looking into getting the T/C in 500S&W for ammo interchangeability, was recoil that bad?

i wish the .375 win be reintroduced in lever guns and carbines, it has been forgotten but is a real good balance of power and shootability. I love to see hornady come out with a .375win 220 grn with that pointed soft tip for tubular magazine!

It’s a .452 diameter round though, if I’m not mistaken.

Was the original NH made T/C Encore or pro hunter available with a 26" barrel in 460 S&W?

Thompson/Center 20" Encore rifle weighs 7 pounds, not 4.5. And 34.5" overall length. Also, the 460 S&W bullet diameter is 0.451" not 0.460". I own a 460vxr 8.38" which is a 5 shot revolver, not 6. And is actually fairly manageable. It certainly won't break your wrist.

I understand you can shoot 454 Casual and 45 long colt out of the pistol. Is that true of the carbine?

I hunt with a 14" s&w 460 revolver. Granted it weighs more than that rifle and has a muzzle break. The gun bucks up off the bench but you could shoot it all day if you can manage something like a 44 magnum well. The shorter lighter revolvers are a different situation though so is the TC pistol in the 460 s&w. Something like this rifle would be intriguing though.

I have a 8" 500 smith revolver on the way. watching videos, I am a tad bit nervous about the recoil but seeing that the 8" 460 and 500 smith revolvers weigh in at 4.5 pounds and are compensated, it should be somewhat manageable. Im handloading for it so I can always defect to moderate/light loads when the heavies get to be too much. Cant wait to touch off some 700gr bullets but I'll only throw one in the cylinder to start. dont wanna accidentally double tap and lose my mind.

What’s the difference between the 460 Smith and 450 Bushmaster? Thanks

Does the stock have or could it have an air blaster adjustable for kick ?

will this 460 barrel also shoot other 45s, the Casull and Colt?

When you say New Hampshire frame is that a better made version than the current manufacture location frame?

Just bought a .460 with 8.38 bbl and its not as bad as he makes it out to be with a 255 gr. hollow point

I have the 8 3/4 inch smith in .460 smith and its really not as bad as you think. grip wise my .44 has more bite in the grip than my .460 does. That being said i have the factory muzzle brake on mine and it truly pisses off anyone that is standing to the left and right of you. to feel the energy after the round goes off its something that everyone should feel at least once in their shooting career i honestly was looking at a .460 lever action for hunting myself

I Have one of these and I shoot the Buffalo Bore with Barnes bullets and its awesome. I used a chrono and it shot at 2900fps. I used it hunting and hit a deer with it at about 60ish yards and it hammered the buck. It was a heart shot and ran maybe 30 yards and piled up. It shoots lighter than a 12 ga 3" slug out of a pump shotgun. Its about the same as my 50 cal encore with 150 gr of blackhorn 209 and 250 gr barns TEZ. I love how small the rifle is. My rifle has the walnut stock, much prettier IMHO.

I was debating between the 45-70 and 460 myself. I got out my reloading manuals and the 45-70 shows about 200fps faster. Of course the data shows the 45-70 in rifle length and 460 in pistol length, so I'm sure they are neck and neck. I ordered a 460 barrel today, because it can also shoot 45 auto rim, 45 cowboy special, 45 Schofield, 45 LC, and 454 Casull. I know your comment is 6 months old, but in case you're still looking I thought I'd share my reasoning. Happy shooting!

When I shot the 460 with a 14" barrel (revolver) it was easy! Thats why I am surprised that 20" barrel was so stout! Dont think the muzzle break on the 14" was that effective caus e the 500 8&3/8" barrel with no break was far easier than the 500ES. Seemed to me the barrel length was the main factor! Love the 460 round best!

super-magnum revolvers (.460 sw, 480 ruger, .500 sw...) are mostly novelties, target range trophies, with some interesting hunting applications. these super-magnum cartridges in single-shot, lever action and semi-auto RIFLES for hunting are an untapped market with great potential.
