Lloyd -
.475 linebaugh sounds like an ideal cast boolet leaver launcher. I've got Win 94's in .45C (Trapper) and .444M (20").

How does the .475 compare with the .45-70 in boolet weights? I would think that you'd have a good range of HEAVY ones.

heaviest mold I have is a 420 lfn and I figure I ought to be able to push that bullet at about 17-1800 fps out of a 17 inch barrel. Should make a good gun for dangerous squirels!
