has anyone data for this bullet ?it is very long for my FA revolver.i can load it for oal.1.77"

While these data do not incorporate specific loads for your bullet, any jacketed bullet load can safely substitute a hard cast bullet of the same weight. Any hard cast bullet load can safely substitute a different hard cast bullet of the same weight.

Since the first factory .475 Linebaugh revolver was Freedom Arms' Model 83, these data will be safe for your revolver. I believe Freedom Arms specifies a maximum distance (projection from crimp) of .395 inch for maximum acceptable cartridge length.

I strongly prefer to use data that has been pressure tested rather than rely on anecdotal "safe" loads. Here is a link to a good place to begin reloading.

Hodgdon's .475 Linebaugh data

Hope this helps.

OK, the Freedom has a short cylinder but I don't have the figures here. The SRH .480 or converted .475 has a cylinder 1.750" long, longer then the freedom. However I don't think the SRH has recessed chambers so your boolit might fit OK. The BFR has a cylinder that will take an overall length load of 1.850".
At 1.77", that boolit needs a longer cylinder. If the boolit sticks out the front of your cylinder, there is nothing you can do but get a different mold.
I have .357, .45 and 475 boolits here that will not fit a Freedom because the frames and cylinders are too short.
When you buy a mold for a Freedom you need to know the nose length and overall cartridge length.

Case length of the .475 is 1.390". Add .395" as has been suggested gives a length of 1.785", IT WILL NOT FIT. You can load in .480 brass and shoot them.

AHA! The man is correct on crimp-to-nose length. I apologize. I mixed data from .500 Wyoming Express. Its cartridge case is 1.365-1.370 inches. It is for this cartridge that Freedom Arms specifies .395 -- not the .475 Linebaugh.

hello!thank you for your answers!i load this bullet with a starting load of 21 grains of h110 at a .length of 45millimeters(1.77").it fits my FA revolver.cylinder length 1,785.

Just so you know: Your OAL exceeds Freedom Arms specifications.

I have been able to load the 400 grain Lee bullet for the .475. It just takes a bit of care and attention to case and overall length.

Yes, the 400 gr Lee will work fine if seated to the very top of the crimp groove and crimped firm so it doesn't move. Shoots very well too. I would say that it is the very limit to overall length for a Freedom.

OOPS, now wait a minute guys, some of us might be wrong. The Lee has a nose length of .395", however, most brass for the .475 will measure 1.380" which will give an overall loaded length of 1.775". If your brass is at the maximum length of 1.390" listed for the .475, they won't fit. Since most new brass is not that long and brass doesn't grow any to speak of, in fact the first firing will shorten it a little, most of the time the Lee will fit. So whether or not it fits depends on what the brass length is. Trim length should be 1.380" anyway.
If all brass is 1.380" then the figure of .395" for a maximum nose length that Freedom recommends is right.
Sorry guys, I don't have the gun here to measure. Will one of you measure the cylinder length?
My estimate is;
Freedom, 1.775" overall
SRH, 1.815"
BFR 1.850"
These would me MAX right to the end of the cylinder.
