I'm putting together a .460 Rowland (as a trail pistol) and have gobs of .451 FMJ and new .45 ACP brass.
Eventually, I will have once-fired .460 Rowland brass to load, but for now, all my .460 Rowland is factory fodder.
I recall seeing a cross section of .45 ACP, .45 Super and .460 Rowland cases. Whereas the .45 Super seemed to use beefier brass (fortified webbing), the .460 Rowland appeared to simply be a stretched-out .45 ACP.
If this is the case, would it be possible to load .45 ACP brass with .460 Rowland loads (being ever-so-careful to mark them as such), or would this be simply too hard on the extractor being that the case is a couple millimeters shorter?
The platform is a Springfield XDm 5.25 with Rowland conversion installed.
The loads would be something similar to .45 Super in ballistics for range use.
Thanks in advance!
