About 6 months ago I made a thread asking about various .45 caliber rifles and which was right for me. Thanks to a lot of you guys, the possum especially, we came to the conclusion that .45-70 was not necessary for what I would use it for.
Because I own .45 Colt revolvers, there's definitely an appeal to a .45 Colt lever gun or .460 Thompson Center.
So, the question that I have to ask myself is: what does a .460 do from a T/C Encore with a 15 inch barrel that a very hot .45 Colt doesn't do from a 16 inch 1892 Lever action rifle?
Most of my shooting is plinking and some target shooting (I love to get the tightest groups possible) and I do reload for .45 Colt, but would gladly load for the .460 if I owned a gun chambered for it. There is a high possibility I would use either to hunt deer and maybe even moose or elk in the future. I don't live in bear country, so that's not a factor.
