LOL I can definitely relate to that. I do keep two loads for my big guns, a dangerous game load with hard cast and the other with jacketed bullets and your right the sighting back in is a pain, I normally count turns but it never fails I always have to spend a little time getting dialed right back in where I want it. Right now I'm in the process of building a 500 Linebaugh and it will shoot strictly hard cast and be for the biggest nastiest stuff walking.


I too am in the process of building a .500 LInebaugh! Let's hear the particulars! Sorry about the thread hi-jack!

A JHP will not penetrate as much as a quality JSP or Partition. I limit myself to broadside heart/lung shots on game so excessive penetration is not needed. With grizzlies around, I do like the fact that the 320 gr hardcast bullets from my Redhawk with break bones and give the deep penetration needed for head on shots.


Amen to that!

Oh know… we have another “Rod” on forum… AH!

Whitworth, you and Rod have more in common than you think. Go look at his 475’s on the bragging board. He also has some other playtoys he has been tinkering with!

Mike, have you made your mind up yet or have we just confused the heck out of the issue?
