Re: 480 Ruger Encore
The 400 Lee runs 1400 fps outta my 9" 475 Linebaugh with Blue Dot (20 grains i THINK it was). I would imagine that i could surpass 1500fps with H110, W296 or Lil Gun but whats the point, nuttin on this continent needs that kinda power! LOL!

Why don't you just go ahead and get something like a 50 Alaskan or maybe a 458 win Mag or maybe even a 470 Capstick and quit playing. If you want power go for it.
Then you will have something with one of these.

Because, Meatplate, that is not what he wanted. What he wanted was a 480 Ruger. Man, what a Troll. Every time you post it is like you let out a large wet loud smelly air sucking flatulence.

Jules, nice looking setup you have there

SEAN: Instead of him sneaking up on something powerful he should just tackle it and be done with it. Was I talking to you anyway?
Have you tried to get up off the bench yet?
You started it this time big boy. If you want to continue it pm me.

Thanks,
This caliber should work perfict for the thick cover and short range I plan to hunt. More then enough power to kill anything in the states for sureWink

Who cares who you are talking to? Was he asking for your Trollish opinion of his choice of caliber? At any rate, I am talking to you now.

Been there, done that many a time in life, too often to bother to recount it to a Troll who uses this sort of question to try to divert attention from his own bad behavior.

No, you started it with your silly sniping at anything and anyone who does not approach things exactly your way. Just replying in kind to your Trollish commentary, little Troll, and I prefer to do it on my own terms and in public. You do not dictate to me how I will choose to respond.

I won't even respond to him Sean. Sooner or later someone will ban him. I know of one forum he'll never be on

That's the first thing I looked at Wade. Now I know i'm gonna get a loaded round from someone and check it out

BTW, Don't even think I ain't seen that 50AE you have on the class ads. If it was stainless I would have had it 2 days ago. I'm still thinkin about it

475/480
I have a TC Encore 10"- 480 Ruger barrel,iron sights and the 475 Linebaugh will shoot in it ,plenty of power and recoil comes straight back into the hand.

Sean,

How does it compare to 44mag with Contender max loads?

Or maybe how does it compare to 444 or 454 or ???

This cartridge and the 480 intrigue me but I'm such a recoil sissy...

475/480
I only have a couple of TC Encore barrels 375 GNR and 475 GNR,I have not shot the TC 44 but I have to believe the 480 is a little harder.The 480 comes straight back ,the 375/475 comes up ,the 375/475 are 45-70 wildcats from Gary Reeder.
