475 Linebaugh Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 475 Linebaugh with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended load. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

Groove / bullet diameter0.475 in (12.06 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.475 325 gr XTP Mag
Powder
Alliant 2400
Charge

Barrel
6 in

Muzzle velocity

1,227 fps

Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn rate)

21,464 – 26,951 – 33,115 psi

nominal is 54% MAP (50,000 psi)

Pressure for this powder is extrapolated from a velocity-only fit — the pressure figures carry extra uncertainty in both directions.

The simulator isn't optimized for this cartridge yet and may read pressure high and velocity high.

Illustrative example — every figure is an estimate; always confirm your load against a current published manual before loading.
