Looking at the Ruger #1 in 475 Linebaugh, can it be safely rechambered to 470 NE? 470 AR and 470 Capstick? What is the minimum chamber wall thickness left in the barrel? http://gunblast.com/Ruger-No1-475L.htm  Thanks!  577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.

Here is an old posting but there were no answers so I am reviving it. Has anyone re-chambered a Ruger #1 in 475 Linebaugh to a 470 NE? Since the Ruger came in the Medium Sporter, it would be a very light weight rifle (read too light) and adding some extra weight + a decent recoil pad might be recommended. Even my 450/400 Ruger is on the light side. | |||

I think that the 470 Turnbull or 475 turnbull would be your best options. The 470 Turnbull is a necked down 50 Alaskan. The 475 Turnbull is a slightly shortened and necked down 50-110 win case. I think the Rifleing twist in the Turnbull rounds might be faster than the Linebaugh, but that really shouldn't be a problem. Turnbull Mfg is who you need to contact to really see if this is a viable option. I think a 470 Nitro, on this little 7 pound rifle, would be a bad idea. Matt Matt FISH!!

I forgot to mention that the 475 turnbull is a factory round, with properly head stamped cases available as well. Not sure about the 470 turnbull. Matt FISH!!
