Do you want to buy bullets or cast your own ? I know that you can't break a Belt Mountain Punch bullet in an animal at 460 S&W velocities. Also, I don't know what your target velocity is. Do you want to make it go as fast as possible? What barrel length , what firearm ? Ect. Ect.
This would be a good mold to start with IMHO. http://www.accuratemolds.com/b...bullet=45-360G-D.png.


Phil Shoemaker : "I went to a .30-06 on a fine old Mauser action. That worked successfully for a few years until a wounded, vindictive brown bear taught me that precise bullet placement is not always possible in thick alders, at spitting distances and when time is measured in split seconds. Lucky to come out of that lesson alive, I decided to look for a more suitable rifle."

Or this bullet could be the ultimate for your 460 . http://www.accuratemolds.com/b...bullet=45-400D-D.png

These are just from 1 mold maker . There are several . Also, it depends if you are of the light and fast or heavy and slower school of thot . The 460 S&W can move a 400 gr boolit along pretty quick so a lot depends on you.
