A friend of mine just bought one at an auction. It's some kind of automatic pistol and he's interested in having me load for him. I've never heard of this thing. Anyone have any experience with it. Where can I find load data--does it use some sort of common prjectile?? ANY INPUT VERY WELCOME.

I believe it was an over-sized gas operated (I think) pistol maketed a few years ago. i recall one in 45 Win Mag showing up at the silohuette range a while back. That one was stainless, and had a 10" barrel, if memory serves me. Wildey also made some proprietary cartridges and I assume the 475 was one of them. Ok, Cartridges of the World #7 says it was formed, from 284 Win brass, cut back to 1.395" and reamed for 475 bullets. COL is the same as the 45 Win Mag. RCBS makes case forming/reloading dies and Barnes used to make bullets (they might still, I don't know). Ballistics with factory ammo are supposed to be a 300 gr bullet at 1610 fps with no barrel length given. Dat in COW gives 300 gr bullets with 18 gr of Blue Dot and a 250 gr bullet with 21 gr of Blue Dot. I can't find any other info to hand, but when I do, i'll post it. - Dan
