Hello from rainy Ohio!
I have a .475 Linebaugh and will be starting to load for it using jacketed 325 and 400 gr (both Speer and Hornady). Part of the reason for loading jacketed is my indoor range here won't allow cast and while I'll shoot outdoors some, I want to be able to shoot there as well. I've read that when using 296/110 it needs to be pretty close to max load or else danger of hangfire, etc. Hornady and Speer manuals also show 296, 2400, Lil' Gun and AA#9 for the jacketed. I'm definitely going to be loading some stout loads.
That said, I'd also like to load some medium level loads using the jacketed if possible. I'm seeing some good cast loads (light with W231 and medium with HS6) but those are cast loads. Anybody have some good recommendations powders for moderate jacketed loads for the .475, and/or suggestions on how to carefully convert over from those cast loads?
Thanks in advance and take care all.
