Howdy, I recently purchased a Winchester 71 that had been re-barreled to 475 Turnbull. I have load data for jacketed bullets from Turnbull Restoration, but am having trouble finding information about loading cast lead bullets. I found a box of 410 Gr. Lead Wide Flat Nose Gas Check bullets by Cast Performance at Midway USA and have them coming. I've loaded for a ton of different chamberings using jacketed bullets over the years but have very little experience loading cast lead. I'm asking if you guys might have a load your prefer and at what velocity does one start having problems with lead fouling in a barrel? Thanx, in advance! GWB

gdub, I don't have any experience with the 475T, but we did run Cast Performance cast gas checked bullets to just short of 2000 fps without any leading problems. Give Grizzly Cartridge a call. I bet Mike or one of them can help you out.

Nice pick up.
A lot of 475 cal cast bullets are likely designed for pistols, ie they may not be gas checked and are designed for lower velocities / pressure. Before loading a heap of them check they fit the throat and, when loaded in the case, they feed and cycle properly.
