Anybody Got a Good .470 North Forks Load??

Looking for a good 500 grain, .470 Nitro Express load for North Fork flat point solids, anyone got one? Thanks in advance.

FYI, I just bought my first box of bullets from Mike at North Fork. It is obvious when you open the package that he takes considerable time and care in turning his bullets out. I hope they shoot well, because they are clearly made well.

Mike,
In my Searcy I loaded them with the same RL-15 load that I used with Woodleigh Softs. I didn't notice any difference in POI. I have only used the cup point however I doubt it will make much difference.

89 gr of RL 15 with a Kynoch filler....2200 fps from my Merkel 470. Shot exactly to the POA as 90 gr of RL 15 and a Woodleigh 500 gr Soft....which chrono'd at 2160 fps.
