Favorite 475 Linebaugh Loads

[Trappererick]

Here are my two favorite loads for my 475 Linebaugh ( the gun is a Ruger Bisley 5 shot conversion done by Gary Reeder with a 6" barrel and topped with a Leupold 4x)

1. Hornady Brass with 14 gr HS6
WLP and a 400gr WFNGC Montana Bullet Works sized at .475

Don't have a chronograph so don't know the velocity but it has very mild recoil and shoots a cylinder full into 2" or under from the bench at 75yds.


2. Hornady Brass with 25 gr H110
WLP and 400gr WFNGC Montana Bullet Works sized at .475

This one has a little more pop :smile: but will print all 5 in a 3" circle at 75yards from the bench.

I load 14 gr. of HS6 under a 400 grain SWC in Starline brass. I get 1150 fps with it. With the iron sights on my Freedom Arms I get about 2" @ 50 yards on a good day.

Toby,

Those Freedom Arms are some sweet looking guns and I have heard that they shoot great and I would say that you prove that. I wish I could shoot that good with open sights.
