Paul HHas anyone done a 475 Special? A 1.1ish 475 L/480R

It depends on what pressure you operate it at, but based on my experience with the 480, I'd say take 44 special performance with 240-250 gr bullets, and expect the same for 300 gr w/ a 48 special.
If your using a gun that can handle full pressure 480 or 475 loads, a 44 special should have no problem pushing 400 gr 1000 fps.

boom stickIf penetration was the goal, shooting the heavy 400 grainers that would not expand or minimal expansion would be interesting to test or 300 grain hard casts at 1,100+ fps.
What makes this interesting is the 475 pistol bullets have been aimed at hunting. A 475 Special could be an interesting self defense wheel gun. As a self defense gun the lighter bullets would be awesome.
Would you rather be shot with a 44 Special or a 475 Special?
