I gave serious thought to a 470 conversion even over the 475. I opted for the 50-110 to have the "50" but also with what can be done with modern powders and so many .509 & .510 projectiles available.That is a project I have been interested in getting into for some time myself, but it is a lot harder to find anyone who can do it in Canada. If I was in the US and was using Turnbull, therefore getting resupplies of stuff like properly marked brass would not require a lawyer , I would be interested in the 470 as it completes the loop by having a bullet of sufficient sectional density, weight, and pushed at sufficient velocity, according to the commonly accepted principles.
As for Leverguns50, he is doing a great job of showing what these "old" rifles can do. A 300 gr at 2700fps gets attention as do the 500 grainers at 2300+. @crs Your postings on lever guns and his are much if the reason one will be going with me in 2023 to go after more of the big boys.
