congratulation on your purchase--awesome

I have reloaded for a .470 recently and had great success with 89 grains of RL-15 with a 500 gr woodleigh--Fed. 215 primer--Norma brass--I also use a filler of 5 grs dacron --shoots very well in my double--

Personally I don't think you need to start as low as 84 grains --but hey,,that's just me

I agree you should use a chrono--very helpful in developing a load

Good luck and keep us posted

Agreed on all points. I use the exact load above except with foam filler instead of dacron. Our Norma brass is getting old and starting to seperate we are now using Jamison. Use the same components but 87 grains of RL 15 for shooting Woodleigh solids and they shoot to the same POI.

BTW, this is with a Searcy 470NE.

Shoot a respectable load of RL15 (89 in my case) side-by-side with one of Butch's load of 106 grains of IMR4831 and feel the recoil/blast difference. Night and day! I like the RL15!
