The Mighty 460 Rowland (part 2): Popular Cartridge Comparisons

Here we take a non-scientific look at comparing a fairly mild .460 Rowland Load to some hot, and some standard loads for 4 other popular cartridges. The velocities recorded provide us with a data point on energy generated, and the water jugs give us a comparison to what sort of energy is being transferred to the target.

The loads used in this test are as follows:

9x19mm Parabdlum - Speer LE Gold Dot 124gr +P

.45 Colt - Winchester Super-X 255gr LRN

.40 S&W - HANDLOAD: 155gr Hornady XTP 7.2gr Autocomp

.357 Mag - American Eagle 158gr JSP

.460 Rowland - HANDLOAD: 230gr Gold Dot 9.9gr CFE Pistol


As always, thanks for watching! God Bless and Keep Your Powder Dry.
