Ruger is dropping their big bore handgun cartridge, the .480 Ruger

Long live the 45 often demised but still the one and only,The45.

The 480 Ruger used to be the biggest bore among the higher powered revolver rounds, even if not the most powerful. The 500 S&W eclipsed it pretty well, even though I'd much rather have a 480 myself, but would prefer a 460/454/45 most of all.

ruger screwed up when they downsized the 475linebaugh. in my opinion, it was a big mistake. they should have made the revolver to take both.

Somehow I thought the 480 Ruger took both. I agree it's silly to pass up interchangeability when you don't have to. Look at the S&W 460. Can take 454 Casull and 45 Colt.

nope, the 480 is shorter. to make the super redhawk a 475linebaugh, ruger would have needed to make the pistol a 5 shot to contain the extra pressure. i agree on the interchangeability, the only issue with the big smith and wessons is the size of the pistols- just as easy to carry a light rifle.

I like 5 shot revolvers.
