Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting large or dangerous game?
The .460 S&W 255gr JHP is best suited for thin-skinned game such as deer, feral hogs, and black bear at typical handgun hunting distances. Its hollow point construction promotes rapid expansion, which maximizes energy transfer and wound channel size on medium-to-large thin-skinned animals. For very large or dangerous game requiring deep straight-line penetration (such as grizzly bear), a hard-cast or bonded flat-nose bullet may be a more appropriate choice.
What revolvers are compatible with .460 S&W Magnum ammunition?
The .460 S&W Magnum is primarily chambered in Smith & Wesson's X-Frame revolvers, most notably the Model 460XVR. Because the .460 S&W case is longer than the .454 Casull and .45 Colt, only revolvers specifically chambered in .460 S&W can safely fire this cartridge. Always verify your firearm's chambering in its owner's manual before use.
Can I reload Sellier & Bellot brass after firing?
Yes. Sellier & Bellot uses quality brass cases with Boxer primers, making them fully reloadable with standard reloading dies and equipment. The brass is well-regarded among reloaders for its consistent wall thickness and durability through multiple reloading cycles, offering excellent long-term value for high-volume shooters.
