Is this because you can't find any .460 cases anywhere or is it you are looking for something cheap?

As for the first, they are readily available online. I prefer Starline over Hornady because the Starline seem to last longer.

As for the second. Cheap and .460S&W just don't mix. It's like a high maintenance woman that will not settle for Pleather, cubic zirconia and faux fur. Would one buy a high performance sports car and then accept the poor performance from running E85 gas thru it? If one can afford the platform, one can afford the proper ammo/reloading components. Proper projectiles for legitimate .460 ammo are not cheap, altho many try to get by with those intended for use in much lesser calibers. .460 ammo takes a lot of powder to push those projectiles and it takes good brass to contain it. Even good brass has a fairly short life span with legitimate .460 loadings. Get some good brass and save yourself the trouble of scoring your chambers because of brass separation. Like having kids.....if you can't afford to feed them, you shouldn't really have them.
