so... 1st off, I already know, to never attempt this in a Contender, ( which is the flavor I collect ) ... however, I have a buddy that started on the Encores... & he has an Encore 45 Colt / .410 barrel... his brother is buying a 460 S&W, & my buddy asked me, if he could shoot that cartridge in his Encore ???
I've never tried to stick a 460 case in my 45 Colt / 410 barrel, but assume it would go in ??? The Encore does have 460 barrels available, so the action can handle it... only thoughts would be any issues with the barrel containing the pressure... but it's bigger at the chamber end, than my Contender barrel...
or perhaps the chamber would be too loose, & the case would rupture...
any thoughts ???
