.500 Linebaugh 525 grain loads

Anybody have any data for the Cast Performance bullet?
I'm going to AK in May for a black bear hunt. Going to take the. Linebaugh. Looking for loads that will make 2 holes.

Whitworth, I sent you a pm.

28 Gr. of 4227 under a 525 is another option

Thanks for the replies and the link to the other board.

I'm going to cast up and try some 440's from a Mihec mold I bought on a group buy from another board, as well.

Near Homer.
Boat based.
Spot and stalk from what I'm told.
I have a buddy who lives in AK and has been bugging me for several years to go along.
I'll be toting my Linebaugh built .500 as well as a rifle. Haven't quite decided which one is making the trip.

Jack Huntington prefers the 4227 load under the 525 grain Cast Performance bullet.

John, got your PM and responded.
