What's you favorite bullet for the 500 Linebaugh?

[lar45]

Hi all, I'm looking for mould options for the 500 Linebaugh. It'll be in a 5.5" Ruger Bisley.
I like the looks of Accurate's 51-350C for a light plinking load.

The 51-450B would probably be more used for hunting.



NOE has the 513-450-FN that looks pretty nice also.


Thoughts or suggestions?

i'm going to use a lbt 450gr lfn gc in my 500L. although mine won't be a revolver, it will be a tc encore in a 23" MGM heavy factory barrel with skinner sights.

stick to heavier bullets. I own two 500s and have owned two others and none of them did all that well with bullets under 400 grain. Even 400 grain bullets are marginal. Add to that they have poor sectional density and don't penetrate near as well as the heavier bulllets. I'm talking both at pop gun levels and rip your arm off levels. Id much rather go hunting with a 430 grain bullet at 800 fps then a 400 at a 1000. Favorite bullets for me have been the 430 grain lfn plain base ballistic cast and the 450 lfngc ballistic cast. the 480 lfngc ballistic cast is a another great one. If I had to only have one bullet it would hands down be the 450. if I just want to do some blasting it would be the 430 and if I had to hunt something truly dangerous it would be the 480. Run any of those 3 bullets at 1100 fps though and your not going to be left wanting on any game animal in the US.
