Anyone Loading 460 Rowland?

I bet that Lonshot would be good in this cartridge, but I have not loaded for this. I have loaded several in 45ACP with Longshot and have been happy with the results. I have been thinking of converting one of my 1911's over to this cartridge, 44mag power in a 1911 does sound nice, haha.
I have used 800X in hot 40's. It is great for making power. Unfortunately, it is dirty, and meters poorly.
I would try HS-6 and AA7 for Max power with 200 grain bullets.
My bowling pin load for power was Blue Dot and a 250 grain SWC on a 45ACP. It was all I wanted, and dirty.
I think LongShot is the standard powder for the Rowland.

Oddly enough my RCBS powder thrower meters 800X pretty well. I've seen the loadings for AA and LS for this round but have found 800X to work quite well in 357 SIG and 10mm. Two rounds where AA and LS are always shown. Of course, different cartridges, different powders. Perhaps 800X isn't a good choice for the Rowland. I don't know...
Thanks for the replies, gentlemen.

For anyone interested…..
200 gr XTP
WLP primer
COAL 1.250
12.0 gr of Power Pistol Avg velocity 1361 fps
13.2 gr of Longshot Avg velocity 1427 fps
Clark conversion kit on Para GI Expert. No problems at all with feeding, ejecting etc. Both the above loadings were very accurate.

Well I don't load the Rowland but as we are talking powders and performance.
I use Accurate #5 in the 38 Super, the 45 acp and the 10 MM and find it extremely wells suited for those calibers if using plated/jacketed rounds.
Now I do NOT down load powder puff loads at all, if I shoot a 10 MM then I want to shoot a 10 MM, same with the 38 Super or 45 acp.
Accurate #5 produces good velocity, reasonable pressure and good accuracy for me, as to clean or dirty burning any powder requires a gun be cleaned so they are all dirty, but I find Accurate powders to be pretty clean burning, especially if you actually load the cartridge and not make baby loads.
All Accurate powders right now are impossible to find however!
hope this helps.
