CORBON began as a custom bullet-making company; we made bullets for hunters going to Africa to hunt the Big 5 with a handgun. CORBON's Bonded Core Soft Points are designed to retain their weight and stay together while crushing through heavy bone and tissue in large game. CORBON's Penetrator and Hard Cast loads are designed for very large, tough-skinned and heavy-boned animals. The Penetrator loads use a heavy, full jacket with a hard linotype core. The Hard Cast load is made from a hard linotype lead with a proven LBT nose design. These two loads cause a through-and-through hole, breaking even the heaviest bones. Our customers have taken large game such as Moose, Brown Bear and Cape Buffalo with our Hard Cast and Penetrator loads.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 460 S&W Magnum, introduced in 2006, is an obvious follow-own to the big 500 S&W Magnum. The 460 uses a 1.80-inch case with a .4525-inch diameter bullet; like the 500 it is intended as a powerful revolver cartridge for big game hunting, but the 460 is faster and shoots flatter, with a 260-grain load at a whopping 2000 feet per second, yielding over 2300 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. This is not as powerful as the 500, so perhaps not as well-suited for extremely large game--but that's still incredible performance from a revolver! Needless to say, recoil is both fast and hard, with a lot of muzzle rise. This is a cartridge for experienced handgunners who aren't recoil-shy, but the 460 S&W has been proven extremely effective as a hunting cartridge. Smith & Wesson is the primary source for revolvers, but ammunition in multiple bullet weights is available from several manufacturers.
