98Z5V Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'd like to see alot more data - this cartridge needs some feedback from Marty, at the least. He would know about what it can do, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDuce Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) I've fired the S&W 460. It's a great PISTOL round for long range shooting with it's flat trajectory and clean recoil. But for a .308 replacement, I can't think of anything the .460 S&W can do that; out of a rifle, the .308 doesn't do better. I am all for new ideas when they make sense but that thing seams like a step back in the name of macho. The .460S&W was designed for a handgun, in a handgun is where it shines and in a handgun is where it belongs. If they can come up with an auto loading pistol that can fire such large rounds then THAT would be something.

98Z5V Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 You have completely missed the boat, MaDuce. You need to look into the stuff that TeppoJutsu has done with the ,458 SOCOM. Once researching that, you might understand. Or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 hmm I might give this a whirl once brass is available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Took a look at it. Hell yeah! 2300fps with a 300gr pill?!?! Splat-O-Matic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 You have completely missed the boat, MaDuce. You need to look into the stuff that TeppoJutsu has done with the ,458 SOCOM. Once researching that, you might understand. Or not. Met a young apprentice/Marine was talkin about starting a firearm shop about a 1/2 hr. away from me and doing something with the .458 SOCOM.

MONTANA308 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 If the whitetail deer population comes back in this country I may have to build one of theses. 4 years ago I could get 12 doe tags and one buck tag. Rolling does with that thumper would be a blast. it defiantly has my interest. I was just rolling around the idea of building a SOCOM. I'll wait for some more testing but it sounds promising.

Magwa Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 same here what a great brush gun for bears, and it would seem like it would be a big brother to the 300 blackout just a matter of time till someone builds a subsonic round and poof then you need a new can.... OMG will it ever end..... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I have a Marlin 1895 in 45-70... I wonder the ballistic difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) I have a Marlin 1895 in 45-70... I wonder the ballistic difference? Off of MD Smith's reloading page, this was the closest .45-70, with a 300gr JHP: Varget 62.0 gr. 2,090fps (Compressed load) I believe some of the Buffalo Bore loads make that look tame. Edit: They have some SMOKIN' loads! BUFFALO-BARNES LEAD FREE 45-70 MAG +P 300 gr. TSX-FN (2350 fps) 300 gr. Jacketed Hollow Point (2,350 fps/M.E. 3,678 ft. lbs.)
