I know nothing about this cartridge. Is there a benefit to it over 44 mag or 45-70?

.460 S&W is a very long .45 Colt. So a .460 could chamber .45 colt or .454 Casull. .460 is loaded to higher presures than .45-70 and this will be a strong bolt action that can take those high pressures.

That's a sweet looking rifle. Do you get any additional range out of this over the 45-70?

I'll take a .357 Maximum when available?

That is going to be one pricey rifle!!! Like the idea of a .460 in a bolt gun though.

I'm sure it won't be cheap and I probably won't buy one because I'm not much interested in a bolt rifle for my hunting. But the more options the better.

Every southerner coming up there will have one. Because a bolt action rifle and expensive glass makes you a sniper.

My buddy is supposedly getting Ithacas version of a high power, tactical rifle. It is in 338 lapua. We will see. It was a one off gun.

I have a .460(45 raptor) in a AR 10, it's a bad round. Drop a deer at 200yd, blew the heart up.
