I have had a Freedom Arms 83 in the 475 Linebaugh for a couple of years now. I've only used hard cast bullets in it for game as expanding bullets will sometimes not work at all or every now and then will go very spectactularly. My original 777 post was in direct relation to use lighter 475 Linegaugh bullets for practice. It seems that 5744 may the way to go. I still have my dies, brass and plenty of 475L bullets waiting for the time when I can get another 470 NE. It seems that since the revolver bullets act like solids, why not use them as such and just go for the shoulder and break them down anyway. My experience with the 475 is that if I use that method, I have no problem pursuing any piggie I whack. I just punch through both sides of both shoulders and they usually pile up about 10-50 yds. There is hardly any meat destruction and I can eat all the way up to the bullet hole.

Lo do they call to me,
They bid me take my place among
them in the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.
