I had ballisticast make this custom mold for me several years back. I speced it as a 450 gr mold, but when casting wheelweights the all up weight of the finished bullets comes to 460 gr. It is their WFN mold 1414 style that had the cherry sunk extra deep. This is the maximum bullet that can be loaded in the 480, and must be crimped in the first lube groove. It can be driven 1100 fps from the 480, and when tested at John Linebaughs summer seminar a few years back penetrated within an inch or two of the best 475 and 500 linebaugh loads. It would also be a dandy bullet for a .475" rifle. I've likely cast no more than 500 bullets from the mold and it's in like new condition. $100 firm, shipped and insured in the US.







These were the test bullets shot at the linebaugh seminar, on the left after going through 40" of wet newsprint, on the right, 2" of bone and 10" of newsprint. I cast these from wheelweights and water quenched them, they were tested by one of the posters here.

Hey Paul,

I think I'd be interested in taking it off your hands, if you ship to Canada.

I am not set up to cast yet, but you never know, eh. My Mbogo is pretty expensive to feed.

PM me if you haven't unloaded it already.

Cheers,
Canuck

Chris,

It's yours, and yes it would be superb for plinking from your Mbogo! Canadian shipping is usually the same as within the states, so no problem on that end. PM me.

Paul H,

if I cried like a baby would you sell me about a dozen of those bullets? Need not be sized/lubed/GC'ed, although if you ahve some that would be cool. The 475 Gibbs needs a plinker bullet.

I make 0.476" 500 grain FPGC slugs from a similar custom made Ballisti-Cast mould. Has been successfully used by a number of folks in 470 NE double rifles. Let me know if your interested in samples.
