Gun Descriptions

About The .460 Rowland Ammo is a proprietary cartridge that captures the true level of velocities of the .44 Magnum Ammo when chambered into several popular semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and revolvers. The .460 Rowland Ammo was designed and developed in 1998, and the cartridge is manufactured to this day. The .460 Rowland Ammo is 1/16th longer than a traditional .45 ACP Ammo to prevent the high pressures .460 Rowland Ammo from being used with a standard chambered firearm for the low pressured .45 ACP Ammo. There are two main aspects to this cartridge. A sharp increase in the maximum pressure of the bullet casing over the .45 ACP Ammo and .45 Super Ammo. And to reduce the velocity of the bullet in pistols to manageable levels. The overall length of this bullet is 32.4mm, and the bullet diameter measures 11.5mm. The 80-grain bullet variant of the .460 Rowland Ammo can travel at a velocity of 3,050 feet per second while creating an energy level of 1,680 ft.lbf. Manufacturer The .460 Rowland Ammo was designed and manufactured by Mr. Johnny Ray Rowland in 1998. And due to its usability, it's still available in the market. Uses The heavy variants of the .460 Rowland Ammo are suitable for hunting medium to large-sized game. It can even effectively take down predators such as wolves, American lions, and giant bears.

About The .450 SMC Ammo was launched in the late 2000s and was similar to the .45 Super. The main difference was that this cartridge used a small rifle primer which allowed more brass into the cartridge to provide it with more strength. Despite getting discontinued and fading away, the .450 SMC Ammo is now commercially available in the markets. The .450 SMC Ammo uses a small magnum primer rather than the primer of a standard pistol cartridge which provides plenty of ignition power. Small primer means more brass at the base of the bullet, meaning more strength to the case. The recoil in the lighter variants of the .450 SMC Ammo is pretty similar to the .45 ACP Ammo, but when it comes to heavier rounds, the .450 SMC Ammo provides far more controllable and manageable recoils. People have been praising the manufacturers who brought back the .450 SMC Ammo into the markets because of its performance and reliability to shooters for different purposes. Manufacturer The .450 SMC Ammo was originally produced by Triton in the late 2000s but was discontinued. Mike McNett, the founder of Doubletap Ammunition, saw potential in this cartridge and decided to bring it back and better than before. Uses The lighter rounds are being used widely for self-defense because they can be shot fast and accurately. The heavier rounds can take down medium-sized game and a few large species in decent range.
