I would rather buy a 460 S&W if I wanted real power from a .429 caliber handgun. I could still shoot 44Mag & Spl thru the barrel.

Same idea with the 45 Colt. I would rather own the SRH in 454 Casull.
As far as cooking up some super hot 45 Colt loads and shooting in a SRH 454, I would warn you to pay close attention to your cases. Some WW & RP cases were not designed for such pressures. I would use 454 brass for power and the Colts for practice. My 2Cents.
That would in fact be one very unique 460 S&W! They aren't .429".
