.460 Rowland Ammo Prices

Johnny Rowland built this in the late 1990s to wring .44 Magnum energy out of a 1911 without leaving the .45-caliber world. It runs much higher pressure than the .45 ACP and demands a compensator and a properly built gun but it delivers genuinely serious performance for hunters and outdoorsmen. A hot-rod .45 for people who wanted magnum authority in an auto.

Loads run 185 to 255 grain in the modest specialty offerings that exist. Priced well above standard .45 in small boxes. The people who commit to it need the right hardware and they buy whenever it appears because it never lingers.
