So, which makers use the real LBT moulds?
« on: February 29, 2008, 08:41:02 AM »
I have just picked up my recently finished Ruger Bisley. Conversion to .475 Linebaugh.  It has a 4 5/8" barrel and was done Mr. Clements.  It's primary purpose is as a companion while salmon / steelhead fishing in bear country and its alternative purpose is to function as a sporting deer gun in the lower 48.  I am an experienced hand loader but do not cast my own bullets and really don't plan to.  So here's the question:

Which bullet is best for me the LBT LFN or WFN in the 420 grain+ weight?  And, what maker(s) are using LBT moulds for same?

My design goal is to push a heavy bullet (420 grains or maybe more) to about 1050 fps. and have it function as the one load for this gun.  I am kind of a one load per gun type of guy.  I never intended to push this gun to full velocity potential but wanted the capability of heavies + diameter and simply made a personal preference decision for the .475 over the .500 Linebaugh.

I've searched here and read quite a bit of Master Veral's educated input and have learned much.  I look forward to your responses and to Veral's input as well.

Thanks!  redleg

Montana Bullet Works is the only company that uses a good selection of them at present, and their quality is superb.  Those last three words are at least as important as using perfect molds.
