Care to share any of that Data? I've been searching the net and .460 Rowland Load Data is hard to come by. I just finished putting my new G-21 Gen 4 >460 Rowland together and finally got the Starline Brass in so I'm all ready to start Loading. Any help with a Starting point would be greatly appreciated. I went with the Lone Wolf 5.2 in. Barrel Kit with a 24lb recoil spring Solid SS Guide Rod and a Lone Wolf Compensator. This thing should stop a Mack Truck. Forgot to add that I will be starting with Sierra 185gr Game King JHP.

This is the load data we used. The powder we tested was Long Shot and also had some Blue Dot numbers. The Blue Dot did not perform well. The Long Shot did very well and the best performance (repeatability) was with the hotter loads. Your mileage may vary.
