Does anybody have experience firing .45 Long Colt out of .460 S&W X-frame revolvers? How accurate are they with .45 Long Colt? I'm guessing .45 LC is less accurate out of a .460 S&W barrel.

really appreciate the feedback guys! The only way to learn these things is to do them yourself, and it's so nice to be able to hear what you have to say, rather than to have to buy a gun first to know if it is a good idea or not.
For sure, I'd be worried/annoyed by carbon buildup. The question is whether it is worth it or not...
If I bought a .460, it would likely push me into handloading, probably for the better, but my thoughts are that I'd likely shoot .45 ACP (jacketed) through it.
It sounds like the accuracy with jacketed .45 LC is good enough that I could stand shooting .45 ACP through a .460.
buck460XVR, is the point of aim much different at 25 yards or less? I was hoping that it would be pretty similar, if only off by a couple of inches. I am not hoping for longer distances than 25 yards for just plinking.
