Frequently Asked Questions
Hornady 460 Ammo for Sale
Is a 460 more powerful than a 44 magnum?
Yes, the .460 S&W Magnum is more powerful than the .44 Magnum. It fires larger projectiles at higher velocities, generating significantly more muzzle energy. The tradeoff is heavier recoil and higher ammunition costs. Both are used for hunting and defense, but the .460 holds a clear ballistic advantage.
What ammo is compatible with the 460 Smith and Wesson?
The .460 S&W Magnum can chamber .460 S&W, .454 Casull, and .45 Colt ammunition. It cannot safely fire other .45-caliber rounds. Common loads use 200–395 grain projectiles. Always verify compatibility with your specific firearm before purchasing.
What is the effective range of a .460 magnum?
Effective range for the .460 S&W Magnum in hunting applications is typically 200 yards, though some hunters take game beyond 300 yards. Actual performance depends on barrel length and shooter skill. It is primarily designed for hunting and personal defense at close to medium distances.
Will a 460 stop a bear?
A .460 S&W Magnum can stop a bear with proper shot placement. It fires heavy bullets at high velocity, generating enough energy for large dangerous game. That said, studies show bear spray is statistically more effective in encounters. If carrying a .460, practice regularly—a missed or poorly placed shot changes everything.
Does anyone make a 460 S&W rifle?
Yes. Big Horn Armory manufactures the Model 90, a lever-action rifle chambered in .460 S&W Magnum with an MSRP around $3,624. Thompson/Center Arms has also produced firearms in this caliber, though availability varies. Both are marketed for hunting applications.
