Of the commercial 475 ammo available, what has been a successful round for bear and for large deer? Would the 475 LINEBAUGH 400 GR XTP be good for this purpose? Informed opinions welcome!

    I think anything that pushes a 400grn slug would be more than ample to take down a deer lol

    I am primarily referring to bullet construction than size of round.

    I've killed two deer with the .480 Ruger using the Speer 275 flat nose jacketed. DRT.
    I'd suspect any handloaded bullet .275 gr. or up, loaded to 90% of maximum or higher will cleanly kill any size black bear at 40 yards or less.
