I had been shooting 405 grain bullets at 1900 fps so 1480 is a breeze. I know that I don't even need this heavy of a load for deer as I blew clear through a doe last fall with my Ruger 45 Colt revolver using a 290 grain Keith bullet at about 1100 fps, breaking a front leg bone in the process. Even so the accuracy is good and at that velocity when zeroed at 100 yards I should be on with my extra aim points on my scope at 125, 150 and 175 yards.
