When the porting began, i believe it was 6 holes around the barrel, in 3 sets
Crappy description There was a hunter had booked an African Safari. Upon reaching camp, the PH took him to the rifle range to test fire his rifle and check zero on his scope. After firing, he sees a rifle sitting in the rack. He asked if another was in camp? The PH answered, " that is my .460 Wby. " "Ohhhh, I've never seen one. Can I try a couple of shots?" "No", the PH quickly responded. The hunter was more than a little po'd, " I'm not good enough to shoot your rifle? " The PH says, " I should explain. To replenish my ammo supply, it is a 90 mile trip to the store. The cartridges are $8 each and IF you were to fire that rifle, it would literally kick the $*** out of you and you would never touch it again. BUT, when we are in the bush and wounded rhino charges, you will pick it up and shoot like it was a .22." He never got to shoot the .460.

My buddy Jimmy, from down at the range, says a 460 Weatherby magnum will loosen your teeth and rattle your jaw-line if you don't hold it just right.
![]() ![]() He's got a Mk V 300 WBY which he hunts with, ... hates the thing. So I guess he should know.

Yes on the 12ga 1680 fps 1 oz slug, and the 1886 45-70 at 350gr/1,900 fps.
![]() I've also run 500gr at at 2,150 out of my heavy Ruger/African 458Win ![]() I don't even want to think about 500gr at 2,600 out of a 460. ![]() |

Here is a you tube video a small-framed people shooting a .460 Wby Mag, both with and without the brake. The video goes into slow motion when shooting without the brake. Not something I would ever do, but they survived without any ill effects. |

I actually think a 460 Weatherby would be awesome! Weatherby doesn’t build it right.
I have a 458 Lott. That is an impressive rifle too. Mine is a Win 70 Safari based custom rifle. It has a 20” tube. It weighs about 9lbs. Loaded up with a strong load, it can be hard to handle. Glad it doesn’t have a scope! That is a real punisher! 460 Weatherby in a proper rifle would be fun to shoot. Proper would be about 11 lbs, recoil reducer, straight grain walnut stock, 22” barrel, sling stud not on forearm. |
