Case and Load Info 460 ROWLAND LOAD AND PRESSURE DATA: The 460 ROWLAND has external dimensions identical to the .45 ACP case with the exception of length. The 460 case is approximately 1/16th an inch longer (460 ROWLAND case length is .957 in.) than the .45 ACP case to prevent chambering in an unmodified .45 ACP gun with safety as a prime consideration. Internally, the 460 ROWLAND case is much stronger than the .45 ACP case with an entirely different design and pressure capacity. Loading information for the 460 should NEVER!!!! be interchanged or substituted in .45 ACP cases; however, .45 ACP loads may be used in the 460 ROWLAND cases and fired in properly chambered guns with no apparent difficulty other than the possible need to reduce recoil spring pressure for satisfactory function in the semi autos. The 460 ROWLAND loaded round overall length is the same as the .45 ACP overall length to allow use of standard magazines and common accessories. We have established pressure limits for the 460 ROWLAND cartridge at or below 40,000 Copper Units of Pressure (C.U.P.) and believe this to be the optimum pressure limit for available guns and components. We want to extend our appreciation to the Accurate Arms Powders ballistics laboratory for assisting us with the following load data. All loads listed should be reduced 10% and gradually increased for each specific gun. The loads shown below should not be exceeded. Accurate Arms (primers: CCI 300 or Winchester WLP) (velocities taken from a 5 inch barrel) The 200 grain Hornady XTP really looks good. More loading information will soon be available. THIS IS THE BEST HANDGUN NEWS SINCE ELMER'S 44.
