| It'd have to be a very close range deal. Farther out it would have a trajectory like a basketball. |

| May as well get a 480 Ruger and be done with it if you want a .475 caliber. If you want a 50 caliber look at Gary Reeders 510GNR. Both good bets. |

| Hamilton Bowen does a 50 Special and like mentioned the Ruger 480 is a "Hot" 475 special. Kind of like a big bore version of Elmer Keith's original 44 Special loading at 1200 fps with the 250 grain bullet. "Special" is right! |

| Basketball, are you saying it would "bounce" off of bears?  Thanks for the replies, I'll keep looking into it. There really is far too much variety in all these big bores. I guess it is a good thing, I guess ? |

| With the ability to load from mild to wild in the 475 & 500 Linebaughs, I've never seen much use for the Special versions of these rounds.
If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out.

That's the way I look at it too.
