- The .460 S&W Magnum is a large-caliber, centerfire revolver cartridge developed by Smith & Wesson in 2005. It was designed as a powerful hunting cartridge capable of taking down even the largest game animals with impressive accuracy and lethal force.
The .460 S&W Magnum is built upon the same frame size as the .454 Casull and .45 Colt, making it possible to convert existing revolvers for use with this caliber. It has become increasingly popular with hunters for largemouth hunting and long range precision shooting due to its excellent ballistics performance. - Bullet Weight (gr) ->0-5050-7575-100100-150150-200200-300>300
