This time it's chambered in .475 Linebaugh. I'm somewhat interested, and I know there's another coupla people here who shoot the .480 Ruger, which can be used in the Linebaugh chamber. The two things I wanna know though are; what's it gonna cost & is the increase in performance gonna be worth the price? A guy should be able to get some increased velocity from the longer rifle barrel, but I suspect them loads might be a bit unsuitable for the pistol. That's an interesting research question alright, but is it interesting enough to pay for a new #1? On t'other side of that coin though is the question of how long is the production run gonna be? 'Cause I suspect that iff'n ya wants one, get it now. foo |

I'd think it would be a perfectly acceptable gun for your Maine bear hunt. It's a 100 yard heavy hitter. But because a 400 grain bullet in that caliber has the ballistic coefficient of a brick, I think something right around that range is the max practical distance. foo |

I was thinking I might go for a .500 Linebaugh in a ruger #1. something magical about a 50 cal.
The linebaugh uses .510 bullets like the 50 bmg, whereas the 500 S&W uses .500 bullets. Would be nice to get cheaper bullets from bmg components. |

Bear; Won't most .50BMG bullets be FMJ's? Good for practice but not hunting ammo. Now, if ya goes for the .475 I can tip you to all sorts of good places to get stuff. 900F |

I'm sure it will not kick like the 416 Weatherby or the 300 Rum with 200 grains. Actually, staying with the topic, I was hoping for some light hunting cartridge selections in a new release Ruger, say the 30-30, 25-35, 30-40, 38-55. I think Ruger is loosing the boat...how many ruger#1 do we need in '06 or 270? Gun shows have dozens on tables all the time. |

I believe that the 30-40 has been chambered in the Ruger #3 which of course is not now in production.
