I bought 10 boxes when I got my first 460 Mag, now I just reload all my 460 ammo. My buddy orders his from the gun shop, he ordered a case of 20 boxes, he likes the 200 gr. Hornady rounds. The gun shops in my area have a hard time keeping it on the shelf's, I think Hornady is having a had time keeping up with the demand, now you can get that over price over rated Cor-bon ammo.

We get 460 Hornady in Delaware for $19.00 to $20.00 a box. I am using the Hornady die's and I have not had a problem crimping the cases, I have also checked to make sure the bullets are not moving in the cases after I shoot the gun. I have shot 4 rounds and checked the 5th to see if the bullet moved.

waynemorgan, the end cap will work with either lead or jacketed  bullets, also the comp for the lead which has no holes on the top by the front sight will work for lead & jacketed . But the one made for the jacketed bullets is not suppose to be used with lead bullets.  ;D
