VV N110 in 475 Linebaugh and 500 JRH

[Thunderjet]

I been a huge fan of VV powders for decades mainly due to how clean they burn and ease of metering. Been thinking about buying a 8 pound jug for reloading my 475 Linebaugh and 500 JRH. Not concerned about getting top velocity, will be shooting bullets mostly in the 1,200-1,250 fps range.
Please share your experiences if you have used this powder in your 475 or 500.

THUNDERJET: WORKS GREAT IN BOTH CALIBERS FOR "MODERATE LOADS" OF THE TYPE YOU MAY BE LOOKING FOR, AND, IMHO, BETTER THAN DOWNLOADING H110/W296. THE "SWEET SPOT"  SEEMS TO COME AFTER YOU GET NO MORE UNBURNT POWDER. JUST GOT BACK FROM A LONG TRIP UP TO MY RANCH SO GIVE ME SOME TIME AND I WILL LOOK UP SOME LOAD INFO FOR YOU.

THUNDERJET: HERE IS SOME INFO USING STAR LINE CASES, FEDERAL 155M PRIMERS, AND VV-N110 POWDER:

1. AN 8 INCH BFR BISLEY 500JRH: 400gr SIERRA JSP OVER 25grs OF N110, NOT CHRONOED'ed;

2. A 5 1/2 INCH HUNTINGTON RUGER BISLEY 500JRH: 400gr MISSOURI BULLET COMPANY ("MBC") PC'ed RNFP OVER 21grs OF N110: 1,064fps; and

3. A 5 1/2 INCH BOWEN NIMROD RUGER BISLEY IN 475L: a) LEHIGH 330gr MONOLITHIC OVER 25grs OF N110: 1,362fps; and b) A 340gr MBC CAST "THUMPER" OVER 25grs OF N110: 1,398fps (WAY TOO FAST FOR THIS BULLET AS BULLET INTEGRITY SUFFERS ON IMPACT).

IN THE 475L, WITH 400gr BULLETS YOU CAN PROBABLY START AT 20grs OF N110 AND WORK UP TO THE SWEET SPOT.

21.0 - 21.5grs OF N110 WORKS VERY WELL WITH 300gr CAST BULLETS IN RUGER 45 COLTS.

MY FAVORITE "EVER DAY" LOAD FOR A BRAD SHERMAN CUSTOM RUGER BISLEY (DUAL CYLINDER 475L/480R) WITH THE 480R CYLINDER IS THE 340gr THUMPER OVER 20grs OF N110, FED 155M PRIMERS AND STARLINE CASES, FOR AROUND 1,200fps.

THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU SOME STARTING POINTS. PLEASE REPORT ANY RESULTS, GUNS, LOADS, MV's, etc.

Appreciate the info. It will be awhile before I shoot either and I still need to order the powder. Hoping to see one of those "free hazmet" charge days in the near future.
