Purple K -- the 275 grain bullets for the 460 S&W are .451 diameter. S&W just pickup the name to be different in regards to the marketing arena.

Well since I don't reload, I contacted Honaday. They said lead-free will be out next year, so much for bear season.

Quiter!


What you should of said is "So much for not being a reloader"


I found out a many years ago when I bought my 270 WSM that if you buy any new caliber and don't plan on reloading you are setting yourself up for frustration.

I honestly believe that owning firearms and NOT reloading is not a good idea. If nothing else, it gives you another perspective as to whats going on and helps to understand the firearms better.

Besides that, its really a great pastime and helps me forget the bad things of the day.

to get into it, you looking at 200-300 dollars, but its money well spent.

I found a deal on a kit to start reloading. It is a turret press, hopefully I can work up some nice 556, 40 and thumper rounds. I will be looking here and reading manuals in the meantime.

Hey Baxter,

What Turret Press Company? The reason I ask is this..

Now, I very much like the Turret Press concept and own a Redding, don't get me wrong, I still can't live without a Rockchucker for R&D work. One of my guys was resizing the 458-325gr-Hornady to 452 and managed to bend the Ram, guess he learned, that we use the Bullet Proof Rockchucker, for such.

I was thinking that it was a RCBS Turret Press and dropped a dime to them and quick as a bunny they Provided a new Ram, NO CHARGE. To My surprise, the thing would not fit the press, the new Ram being allot bigger in diameter. Then I discovered that the press was really a Redding and not the RCBS, I thought it was. I tried to give back the RCBS Ram back to them, but they were more enthused with the notion that my shop had a failure with a competitor's, that RCBS charged nothing for and Redding charged me something like $20 bucks, with shipping.

Will Redding work? Yes, but don't stress it as we did on those 325's. Will RCBS work? I believe it will, even resizing the 325's.

Good thing the Redding was a Gift, myself I learned many long Moons ago that, sparring a dime, usually will cost you much more in the long run..t

Rockchucker... keep it clean & lubed; it'll do anything and last a lifetime doin' it!
