Today I went to the range with 99 reloads for the .475 and 45 for my FA 500 WE (several DIFFERENT loads in each caliber). I came home with all empty brass. I shared the #2 shootin' shack with an 85 year young gentleman that had a world of wisdom and stories to tell. After he shot a couple of rifles, and he pulled out a Ruger SBH with a Weaver scope on it, I was pleasantly surprised. He went on to tell me he had taken a bear, a mountain lion, an antelope, and an elk, with that Ruger. I was all smiles as I listened to his stories in between shooting sessions; it was a real nice afternoon.

Here is an honest 50 yard group I shot with my .475; the JPoint 4 MOA red dot seemed to cover the orange center of the target. I am quite happy with how the gun is now shooting and will continue with load development.



PS: The "scrape marks" on the target are from bullet splatter off of my steel target plate I had hanging nearby; in actuality it took most of the bullets today!
