Contemplating a rechamber on my Alaskan from 480 to 475 Linebaugh?!

The .480's still an effective round with the short barrel. It really doesn't need to be pushed hard to penetrate deeply. But, it could be a lot of fun as a .475 Linebaugh!

Did you decide to keep it as is?

If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.
