Love the front sight

 

[CoElkHunter]

+1 and ALL the grips!

Very nice. Who did the custom smithing? Given the 3.5" barrel, has it been built as a back up gun or as a primary hunting weapon? Either way its a beautiful piece.

JRH aka JACK HUNTINGTON he is one of the best! Back Up[emoji95] ...[emoji199][emoji1783]

What a lovely little heater!
Why didn't you have him run a .475 Linebaugh reamer down it while you were at it?

Thanks...I have 500s and 50/110 revolvers for more horsepower! Lol[emoji95][emoji1783]
All these are 500 or bigger![emoji14][emoji1783]

Interesting build for sure. Smart with the smooth grips. I wouldn't want to play with that torque monster wearing stag grips. There was a reason the bird's heads came out fat and smooth. Looks like a .500 Special. That .475 is an excellent companion for a .470 double.

Tom, that front barrel band site is beautiful. I think it would look just as nice on a 6”, 475 belt gun. I may have to discuss it with mr Huntington.

I have been trying to get an answer out of Speer for several months to a simple question: what is the time frame for .475" bullets to be available? all that I get is either a canned answer that they are working as fast as they can of a rude one that they will be available when they are available and don't bother them. anyone have a better answer?

 

[freefall]

Buy a bullet mold.

Cast bullets aren't the problem- they are available, it's the jacketed ones that are scarce.

 

[freefall]

Imho, hard cast pistol bullets out-perform jacketed bullets for large animals.

 

[Ray B]

My purpose for the jacketed bullets is to shoot the 470NE for range time plinkers. For large animals I'd be using Woodleighs.

470 NE is a wonderful round, ut it is not screamer. Hard cast bullets can do 2200 fps easy. Powder Coated they can do well over 2400, I really think cast is something you should look into.
