470 AR
Jeffe,

What is the case capacity of the 470 AR (grains water) and can you fully seat 500 grain .474 bullets in the case, i.e., seat to the crimp channel? Thanks.

Mike

Can you seat bullets like Woodleighs up to the crimp channel without powder compression?

Mike,
yeppers... at the crimp, that's the capacity... the rounds are designed to hit at the crimp of the woodleigh and/or hornady

i think the 470 a.r. is the best big bore wildcat to come along since the 458 lott

its a shame that it will not be a factory round for about 20 years. it takes a while for genius to catch on...

be ahead of the curve thumb

i think i need to qualify the above statement by saying "for the average joe" no t rex type carts qualify as that.
