Went into one of my LGS and there it was laying in the case....a SRH 480 with a Bushnell Elite 2x6 attached to it. I have been looking for a 7.5 bbl but will somehow manage to get by with a 9.5 bbl Both of these are new and I'm stoked to get it out in a week or so when funds allow and go shoot it. Any suggestions on a bandolier type holster or factory loads as I will have to shoot a few boxes of factory till I get setup with all the goodies to reload. I havent shot anything of this size but shoot 44 mag quite a bit and love my SBHH

Congrats on the new pistols. Did you get 2? a 7.5" and 9.5"?

Just one a 9.5" bbl one.

Buffalo Bore's 410 grain load and Grizzly Cartridge's 425 grain load.

Congratulations of the score!!

Thanks for the recommemdation. I will definately give those heavy hitters a try.

The one thing you might want to do is replace the factory grips with the Houge Tamer grip. I will certainly help when shooting the stout loads through it. If you cast your own bullets then the Lee 400gr mould works great as an all around bullet. I load them from mild plinking to heavy hunting loads and they perform nicely.
I think you're going to really enjoy your new toy.

Im going to try it out with the factory grips and see how it goes. I have a couple of those Hogue grips on other revolvers and love them. They fit me like a glove. Handling my new boomer in the store the grip felt really good but will have to shoot it some before I decide if they stay or go.
