Was looking at the DW price list and came across listing for barrels for 45, 360 and 460. I've never seen any of these. Anybody got any of these? Post pics if you got 'em. I know what the 460 is but the 360 and 45 have me stumped. What I can find on the net sounds like a 360 is a 357 that is full standard cylinder length, between 357 mag and 357 SM.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Yes, the 360 Dan Wesson does fit between the 357 Mag and 357 SM. I don't recall the case length. A Dan Wesson chambered for such round is quite rare.
The 45 would be .45 Colt. I had one, sold it to Jody.
Finally, the 460. There are a few Dan Wessons around chambered for this cartridge too.
There is exactly 1 (one) Dan Wesson factory chambered for the 460 SuperMag.

Here is a photo of the 745 Wayne sold me. Since receiving it I have also added the case and VH6 Barrel Assembly.

The case lengths are: 357 magnum = 1.29, 360 DW = 1.41, and the 357 SM = 1.6.

Don't forget, there is also a Dan Wesson revolver in .460 Rowland.

Sweet pack Jody! Interesting array of calibers, not sure why one would need a round heavier than a 357 but lighter than a 357 SM. Was the 360 on a small or large frame?

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing. Interesting to learn the case length differences on the 360. So the 360 could shoot the 360, the 357 magnum and the 38 special but not the 357 SM, right?

Correct about not being able to fire the Max, but the 360 barrel tube has the same threads as the 357Max. The slightly shorter frame gave the 360 more wiggle room in making weight for ram shooting as the original 357Max was very close to max wt, which was the reason for the original factory cutouts on the shroud and there are some factory milled down Max barrels that were done by the factory, I believe Monson, they're a few thousandsth smaller between the threads than the standard factory barrel.

just had to ask has anyone ever seen the one the catalogs refer to as the 45 pin gun. I think it was to be used on bowling pin shoots in the 45acp cal. something along the line of a competition model?
