Thread: 410 out of 460S&W...?

I'm looking at the numbers, and I don't see why you couldn't shoot 3" .410 out of a 460S&W...
Would you maybe need to change the angle on the forcing cone...?
Slight loss of accuracy perhaps...?

What do you guys think...?

I don't think i'd want to mess with it! Sounds like a bad idea to me.

Let's just theorize though...
If you can shoot 45LC out of a 3" 410 cylinder(with pretty good accuracy), then why couldn't you do a 3" 410 out of the beefier 460 cylinder...?

Have you loaded the cylinder and if so does it spin freely when you pull back the hammer? If it will do that I don't see why wouldn't work, the piece is tough enough to handle it. Although I would think if it does work S&W would have used it as a selling point.

I don't own a 460...if somebody would trade me for my Spectre or Lew Horton, I'd settle this!
The 460 and 454 are based off 45LC as their parent case, so I don't see why it wouldn't work...

I think S&W was so impressed with itself, that it might have skipped right over it...!
And I believe it came out slightly before the Judge, and the trend it started.

I saw Taurus was offering the Raging Judge soon, that shoots 454 also...
If I am the first to come up with this, please let it be known now!!! :P

I am betting the .410x3” would not work, the .410x2 1/2” might work as the OAL of the .460 S&W is 2.3”.

Yeah, my bad...
My dyslexia got the best of me!!! >= ¡
Had 2.92" stuck in my head...!
Which I guess makes me have to rephrase my original question...
"Why don't they make 3" cylinder revolvers that shoot .410, 460, 454, and 45LC?"
