Such bullets, unlike jacketed bullets, are designed to be driven at reduced velocities. Driving these bullets at .460 Weatherby velocities can cause lead to be deposited in the barrel. Regular cast bullets are not recommended with the .460 Weatherby as the upper end of the permissible velocities for these cast bullets is lower than the lowest velocities obtainable from the .460 Weatherby Magnum. Powders The .460 Weatherby performs at its best with medium slow burning powders especially with heavier bullets. Usual powder charges start in excess of . Due to the large capacity case, charges less than 90% load density are not usually recommended. Hangfires with cartridges such as the .460 Weatherby are extremely unpleasant. Powder charges with higher load densities provide more reliable burn performance than lighter charges. {| class="wikitable" border="1" |+ Powders' suitability for the .460 Weatherby Magnum |- | style="background: #eeeeee" | Powder brand | style="background: #eeeeee" | Lighter bullets - | style="background: #eeeeee" | Heavier bullets - |- | style="background: #eeeeee" | Accurate Arms || AA2520, AA2700 & AA4350 || AA2700, AA4350 & AA3100 |- | style="background: #eeeeee" | Alliant || RL-15 & RL-17 || RL-17 & RL-19 |- | style="background: #eeeeee" | Hodgdon || H380, H414, Varget, H4895 & H4350 || H4350 & H4831 |- | style="background: #eeeeee" | IMR || IMR 3031, IMR 4320, IMR 4064 & IMR 4350 || IMR 4350 & IMR 4831 |- | style="background: #eeeeee" | Norma || 203-B & 204 || 204 & MRP |- | style="background: #eeeeee" | Vihtavuori || N-140 & N-150 || N-150, N-160 & N-560 |-
