I'm intrigued by the 480 and now that Ruger is making them again, I may look that direction. For now, I carry a SRH in 44 Mag, with a...gulp... 9 1/2" bbl. Not the most convenient, but I run what I brung and I cant stand the thought of cutting it..... with 325 gr Hardcast DT bullets and near max charges of W296 it is one hell of a nice shooter.

I been looking about for a 454 SRH so I can shoot 45LC too, but the 480 has my attention. Definently need to look at a 4" or 5.5" barrel though. That 9.5" is a bit of a hassle smile
