Anyone happen to get this box back in the day?

Would you say they are a medium load or a full power load?

I used them way back before I hand loaded

Had enough power for full pass thru’s. I never recovered a bullet.

Wow

A 400 grain bullet at 1350 is a hot load that

will take anything on this planet. Hornady ammo is some of the best there is. Hot but sensible loads. I used a JSP 350 grain bullet a year or so ago in my 510 GNR on an African lion and the bullets went all the way thru. There are guys that brag about running a 400 grain bullet at 1500 to 1550 but that is not needed. All that does is do wear & tear on you and your handgun. I shot a big bear in Alaska with a 425 grain bullet at 1400 fps loaded by a commercial loader and I shot the bear from kissing distance and both rounds went all the way thru.
If you have your choice of ammo for dangerous game I would recommend the 350 to 400 grain soft point bullet. I shot a bear here recently again at kissing distance and using 45 ACP JHPs. 3 rounds did nothing to the bear but pissed him off. The hollow points clogged up with bear fat and hair and turned into FMJs.
After that I will never carry a JHP in any of my guns that might be used for dangerous game. Just my humble opinion.

Great knowledge

don't leave that ammo out in the sun on a hot, late summer day. First time I ever shot a friend's Reeder 475 Linebaugh it was in 2001. He loaded it with Hornady ammo that had been sitting in the sun while we all chatted. Then he had me shoot it and for some reason or other it was over the chronograph. I'd read about how the heavens would part and the earth shake to its core when you shot a 475 Linebaugh, so I was latched on good to that pistol. The sun soaked ammo was clocking over 1700 fps! I'd no idea what it was rated as, just remember thinking "That's not so bad!" I still would rather shoot a 475 than a 454 Casull though.

Yeah I have always wondered if 457 linebaugh was easier to control than 454 casull.

It's not as snappy

at least in my limited experience. The recoil impulse on the 454 that I shot (Jim Taylor "kindly" let me shoot a cylinder full of Corbon 360 grain through his) Buffalo Bore 45 Colt is more than enough for me. I'll stay away from the 454, thank you very much. I'm intrigued by the 475, but if given my druthers I'd have the 500 Linebaugh instead. Or, stick with the 45 Colt in a Ruger Vaquero or Blackhawk - which will handle anything on the North American continent with aplomb.

I've heard that 180 gr. 44 mag super vel was some great ammo

A couple of my S&W model 29s love that load

and bullet. I have used it in hunts all over the world. For deer size critters I don't think you could find a better load. I was reloading when Lee Jurras came out with that load, but once I tried his 180 grain 44 Magnum load I stayed with that load for my S&Ws after that. For deer and smaller black bears I don't think you could beat that 180 grain Sierra bullet.

For big critters I stayed with my Super Blackhawk load of the Hornady 265 grain jacketed soft point load.
