The trade-off is that wonderful transfer bar. Upon returning to California from an overseas assignment, as was my habit in those days, after being away for year-long stretches, I dropped in on my local gun shop to say hello and catch up (and, inevitably, buy more guns). Any handgun that will My experience with deer and .44 from my Marlin lever has been no more than 20 yards w/ Buffalo Bore deer grenade loads.
I didn’t realize it had gotten that bad, but by the end of the session, the memorial bracelet I wear wouldn’t fit around my swollen wrist.
That becomes a problem. jwt, as an aside. — heart shots: deer run a relatively long distance
Considerably lower?
I have always gravitated toward the ballistics of 240 grain bullets in .44 Magnum.
Hornady seems to have discontinued their heavier offering and now only offers a single loading for the .480 Ruger, their 325gr XTP moving at an advertised 1,350 fps at the muzzle. Yep. nail polish and tight holsters don’t mix well…, That’s a nice firearms.
Everyone that has seen it has tried to buy it.
Thanks for nothin’, TTAG. I’ve been waiting on this review. The hearty 60,000 CUP of the .454 Casull possibly equates somewhere north of 70,000 psi, which is a truly shocking amount of pressure for a handgun cartridge.
Second in critical importance is the “Bisley” attached to this Super Blackhawk’s name. as to why Ruger chose to invent the .480 instead of bringing out In the hands of a good handgunm hunter there is nothing those aforementioned cartridges can do that a hot loaded.45 LC or .44 Rem Mag can’t.
lol. The new Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Subcompact is offered in 9mm and .40 S&W and with and without... Handguns editor Scott Rupp fires some Federal Punch .380 defensive handgun ammo into ballistics gel the range for a performance test run. But yup, sometimes they run.
Both models will be offered at least initially with only one length of barrel and that is 6 ½-inches, with a 1:24 and 1:18 twist for the .454 Casull and .480 Ruger respectively. Although the .480 Ruger is seen as a more moderate cartridge when compared to some of its big-bore compatriots, it is by no means a powder-puff load.

.480 is just more than I need here.
The .454.
This is especially true during the colder months when heavy outer garments can obstruct access to a traditional waistline holster.
The .480 Ruger case is just too large in diameter to fit 6 inside the Bisley’s standard cylinder and still have adequate cylinder wall thickness. Maybe you should give the ol’ Ruger another chance?
The trigger on the .480 Ruger is, like every New Model Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, or New Vaquero I’ve shot, disappointing.
That doe still managed to run about 50 yards before dropping over.
at a later date, try to test these bullets on live game. The Super Redhawk platform is able to handle the most powerful revolver cartridges ever created. Brother a day of digging holes with a steel pole and a coffee can earns you whatever beer you want. I would highly recommend either to anyone seriously considering handgun hunting.
It’s pretty rare to get one of these Ruger revolvers to blow up. When I got it back it was a 5-shot .500 Linebaugh with a 5 1/2″ rebored/rifled/engraved S&W ribbed barrel and a custom-made hammer duplicating the standard “thumb-buster” Ruger or Colt hammer profile, but mated to the Bisley grip frame. It’s right at the top end of what is still enjoyable shooting, and yet would do a number on even the largest of bears.
Depending on the load and powder, the diminished case capacity of the 480 Ruger is far more significant than the 2000 psi. Basically a shortened .475 Linebaugh, the .480 Ruger is a serious big-game hunting round that even when loaded to spec isn’t too abusive to the one pulling the trigger. The cottonseed meal has the consistency of
Roll those 410s you wrote about back to around 1100 FPS. Rear Sight: Adjustable Barrels are cold-hammer-forged and rifled with a twist rate of one turn in 18 inches. As for poor penetration, it went diagonally through a red deer. Sometimes they are DRT. All but one of the factory loads averaged 2.6 inches or less at 25 yards, and as you can see on the accompanying chart, four of the seven averaged less than 2 inches.
That’s how the recoil is so manageable. Try as I might, I’ve never been much of a shot off-hand. Click the following link to go to
Thanks again for the review of a nice revolver for hunting just plain shooting. (The .44 Magnums are both regular stainless.)
hard-cast bullets in this cartridge.
I experienced no issues concerning reliability in any way. The quick and dirty performance review is this: The .480 Ruger fires a 410-grain bullet as fast as the .44 Magnum fires a 300-grain bullet, and because of its bigger bore diameter (.475 for the .480 Ruger versus .429 for the .44 Magnum), it provides 19 percent more frontal area — and that’s before expanding. Sounds like that might be about all I should expect.
metallic silhouette shooters.
It shot well, as I expected it would. Just let it roll. Ruger was looking for a round that would use big bullets like the Linebaugh but operate at lower pressures than the .454 Casull—50,000 psi maximum average pressure for the Ruger cartridge pressure versus 65,000 psi for the Casull. Any firearm chambered in .480 Ruger will be able to fire the .480 Ruger. Not this time. You know, that’s why they invented nail polish. I remember reading John Linebaugh’s writings where he cites as much as 100 fps in loss from a large cylinder gap with heavy .45 Colt loads. Take a close look at many custom revolvers and you’ll see the more common hammer has been replaced with the Bisley.

It’s fairly crisp, with no take-up or grittiness. For handgun hunters who wish to The ammunition also proved to be very consistent, hunting gun with a durable finish. And yet it’s still easily packable in a hip or chest rig. But I wanted to show the power of the 275 grain Buffalo Bore Barnes round when fired into a 50 pound block of wet clay. That was a bit expensive. No problem exists that cannot be solved with sufficient amounts of high explosive. Since Target Gray met with mixed reviews from the start, the decision was made to discontinue it. An upgrade, like Bowen’s Rough Country rear sight, would go a long way to making the rear sight easier to see, as well as a bit more durable. to agree (or disagree) with it? Bisley with a 5-1/2 inch barrel.
The grip just feels good.
The Ruger Super Redhawk was launched in 1987 partly as a remedy to a problem with the popular Redhawk’s barrel to frame attachment. For comparison, a heavyweight 300-grain .44 Magnum produces just under 900 ft.-lbs.
Gun makers such as Freedom … Author thinks that even better
If I step up to 300 grain bullets, I might have to account for bullet drop past 50 yards, although that is better than not being able to shoot past 30 yards because 240 grain bullets lack enough accuracy to shoot beyond 30 yards. Up until the last
>While the cylinder walls are thinner on the .480 iteration, the maximum pressure specification >for the .480 Ruger is considerably lower than Dick Casull’s wonder cartridge. As it is, the finish is just fine for a working gun. Dick Casull started the ball rolling
In the meantime I’ll muddle through with my Smiths.
Bowen, have been producing some five-shot revolvers delivering more I bought the 9.5″. My daughter says “gell type” was the wrong choice. This means you have the option to read your magazine on most popular phones and tablets. JWT, it’s been close to 10 years now, but as best I can recall, it was less than six months, more than three. the best way to hold the gun over the bags, when I should have held He had a suspicion and was a logical fellow so he conducted autopsies on those who dropped in their tracks.
The .480 has come and gone from Ruger’s Super Redhawk lineup over the years, and now it’s back.
It makes me feel funny down where I pee. The first handful of factory loads offered the public did not show the true potential of this cartridge and were overshadowed by the aggressive marketing of the .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum, and later, the .460 Smith & Wesson Magnum.
Just don’t like the Bisley hammer.
There is a reason you see the cylinder throat and bore dimentions (I should have included the chamber throat as well). data and gain experience with the sixgun.
All Guns and Ammo subscribers now have digital access to their magazine content. You’ll see when you compare the hammers and to the grip frame. The wood to metal fit is acceptable, but not exceptional. Look for a full review at a later date.
For instance, plug in a 360-grain .454 Casull load at 1,425 fps — which generates 200 ft-lbs. Any of those latter calibers are generating more energy at a hundred yards than the 45 Colt does, even the Ruger only loads, at the muzzle. Assuming there is enough oxygen to function for 12 seconds, white-tailed deer can run a LONG ways in 12 seconds. I would like to second this comment.
Capacity: 5 Redhawk combination, using the excellent Hornady factory loads, Remember, unlike the double action ultra magnums, these guns were designed to cock and fire with one hand.
They were not inexpensive.

Shoot the factory Hornady or Speer loads off-hand and you’ll definitely know you touched one off, but it doesn’t feel much different than a full power .44 Magnum load. I bet you groups will tighten up and your wrist will thank you.
There are a couple of things that set every “Bisley” model apart from other single action pattern revolvers. I told you and Dan Z. that I would buy a new gun this month to make up for only buying one in Jan. All this talk of Black Hawks has got me thinking that my Single Six needs a big brother.
Even if it’s only by 1,000th of an inch, that combination will lead to poor accuracy. Way back in the early 90’s my shooting buddy and I both bought .44 Magnum SRH’s. And the second big doe that I shot this season went about 35 yards. Of course, like any ballistic calculation, the TKO formula can be manipulated.
The grip’s synthetic rubber does a good job of soaking up at least some of the recoil.
