			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In May (2008) I <a href="http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2008/03/12/winchester-reduced-recoil-460-sw/">blogged</a> that Winchester were going to offer reduced recoil .460 S&#38;W. </p>
<blockquote><p>features a 250-grain jacketed hollow point bullet, a muzzle velocity of 1,450 feet per second (fps) and an impressive<strong> 1,517 foot-pounds of muzzle energy</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Muzzle energy is a function of bullet weight and velocity. I did not notice it at the time but those figures are impossible. I am sure it was a typo, but I am surprised that it has taken Winchester over 6 months to issue a correct press release! </p>
<p>From the &#8220;new&#8221; <a href="http://www.winchester.com/products/newitems/whatsnewcontent.aspx?productid=60">press release</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>features a 250-grain jacketed hollow point bullet, a muzzle velocity of 1,450 feet per second (fps) and an impressive<strong> 1,167 foot-pounds of muzzle energy</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>So it generates 50% less recoil and has 50% less power. I don&#8217;t see the point, might as well use a .44 magnum, but the game being shot probably won&#8217;t notice the difference.</p>
