Judge your almost 60? This photo in your tagline must be of a F-4

Butch regulates his current 470's with 500 grain bullets and 106 gr of 4831 at 2150 FPS. He dropped this from his previous 108 Gr 4831 at 2250 FPS. The Searcy doubles will fire any monolithic solids, etc with no problem. Don't try these in other doubles.
Which 4831 does he use?
Good question. I would say Searcy is using IMR 4831 since his velocity is pretty high with a lower charge.
Either H4831SC Extreme or the Long Cut H4831 Extreme is the better way to go.
Seems like Searcy would have wised up by now.
Quoting a load as just "4831" is very careless. Anyone doing this should get down and give me fifty pushups, and promise not to do it anymore.
Take note everyone, the North Forks will all be .475" and no more .474" will be turned out, eh?
NF Mike,
I will be needing some more of the .475/500grain FPS. I have three hungry rifles to feed, and all of my .475 grooved rifles like the taste of North Fork Copper, the more driving bands the tastier.

You can count on an order from me for 470 caliber bullets when you get them ready.
