Re: Anybody Hunted with 475 Linebaugh - 480 Ruger?

I have hunted with a Linebaugh built .475 since 1997. Using bullets in a LBT style LFN construction from water quenched wheel weights. I have killed elk, moose, antelope, black bears, hogs and 1 bison. These bullets weight in at 420 grains using my standard load of H-110 giving me 1320 fps and I have only recovered one from any game animal. On my bison hunt I hit it a little too far back(missed the shoulder) and punched through both lungs and out onto the prairie. on the follow up, I shot the bison quartering away just ahead of the right hip angling forward. The bullet was recovered just inside the skin of the left (broken)shoulder blade.
I am in the process of converting my 375 H&H to the 470 Capstick. I will have no fear using hard cast, gas checked bullets. In addition to being deadly they are cheaper.

What they could not do at gunpoint they now accomplish in courts of law with men in black robes.
