475 A&M Magnum
Would appreciate any info on locating projectiles other than firing my 308&30.06 cases filled with lead. It's time for some store boughts.

Not any more difficult to locate bullets for than the 470 NE. They both use the same bullets. If you want downloads, use 480 Ruger pistol bullets.

Woodleigh,Barnes,Swift and Hawk all make .475 bullets in 500 grain projectiles. Woodleigh and Barnes both make solids as well as softs. There are also bullet molds for casting your own. You've really been doing the John Bhullmiller (spelling) approach so far. How do you like your 475 A&M? What rifle is it built on? The Woodleighs are rated at 2250 fps as optimum impact velocity. The Swifts and Barnes don't really care.
Take care and welcome to the forum

thanks for the info. I used the P14 to build the rifle. I love it. With my size and stature three shots is enough for me. The cases are presently loaded with 308 and 30.06 spent cases filled with lead, 700& 1000 gr. respectively.
thanks again

.475 A & M loaded with .308s [Eek!] [Eek!]

Is it enough grip in the neck of the case for the bullet????

Do you just pour pure lead down in the cases, load 'em and go shooting?

Tell us more! pictures etc [Wink]

It must be the ultimate el cheapo big bore [Big Grin]
