That looks pretty promising! Thanks for posting the link, Redhawk.

I am glad to see that also. I don't think handgun hunter actually know the true power and usefulness of the 480 Ruger.

I would love to see Ruger come out with a 5 shot in the Blackhawk.

Me too -- they should have offered the .480 in a SA platform from the start. I certainly would have bought one. It doesn't help that they chose such mediocre loadings initially.

Hmmm, .460 S&W interests me more.

Doesn't fit in a "normal" length cylinder, requiring a really big frame as well. Believe me when I say that th .480 loaded with 400+ bullets is a killing machine.

With all the extra meat on the 5 shot cylinder I wonder if it is worth shortening down the 475 Turnbull brass to shoot a mini 475 Turnbull Big Grin Shoot Turnbull bullets to boot!

Hey Doug... do you want your own wheelgun cart too?

Already have headstamped brass! Use the same reamer and dies although a new reamer is best to get the rim cut as well.

Cuz there's already a .475 Linebaugh that fits in a conventionally sized wheelgun, and it ain't lackin' nothin'!

I agree with Whitworth here, no need reinventing the wheel.
