People have what they like, but why load 45 weight bullets in a 475 for regular use?
I do load a lightweight 355gr in the 500 I designed as a plinking bullet for the Linebaugh, but it still has a .400" meplat that smacks coyotes like nobody's business. But it's still a special load for the Redhawk because it sucks to shoot with a real load.
My 475 bullet I actually use is 415grs. I've got a 365gr Lee mold I've never used.
Does everyone use them for smaller game or plinking?
Thinking about it, I suppose a 355gr .512" bullet at 1350fps could be considered a "real load " by some, but it's really just a fun plinker far out classed by my hunting loads.
