>Also, about .460 Rowland, with a quick Barrel swap, you can shoot it in any _Quality_ .45ACP 1911.
we may be straying off topic, but I'd like to share some tidbits of info related to this wildcat calibre, based on what I've experienced:
# factory ammo is limited to Georgia Arms and Corbon
# handloading can be accomplished using regular .45ACP dies
# for non-paper targets (ie. hunting) keep in mind most .45ACP bullets were not designed to hold up to the high speeds of this calibre (~1550fps for 185gr, 1350fps for 230gr)
# load data is limited - Longshot seems to be the best powder choice for full power loads
# you will want a regular power mainspring to ensure reliable ignition and I recommend Winchester primers (Federal may be fine - never tried them)
