Which has more energy? 475 Linebaugh or 454?

I don't know too much about the 475 Linebaugh cartridge, does anyone have any specs on it? Does it surpass the 454 Casull in energy?
Thanks

  The answer is going to depend on your data source. According to COTW the 475 produces approx 180 more fpe than the 454. According to other sources the 454 comes out slightly ahead.
  Either one is a big handful of recoil, however the Casull has the advantage of being fired with 45LC cartridges for much milder "plinking" sessions.

  What tailgunner said plus both cartridges are going to be pricey,but so far the .454 has become a lot more common and available and as he said, you still can shoot .45 long colt for "plinking" and "small" game(must be smaller than grizzlies). What little I've seen of .475 cartridges about made me swoon when I looked at the price.

  If you hand load your own ammunition you may get better performance out of your weapon but be careful as you can make your weapon pop in your face. I would do a google search on those loads and that way you can get good specs on each.
