480 Ruger Hornady

480_ruger
The .480 Ruger cartridge, developed by Sturm, Ruger & Company and Hornady, is a powerful big-bore handgun round introduced in 2003 for the Ruger Super Redhawk revolver. It is designed as a less powerful alternative to the .475 Linebaugh while still offering substantial stopping power and increased bullet diameter compared to .44 Magnum and .454 Casull cartridges.
The .480 Ruger features a case length of 1.285 inches and typically fires a 325 to 400-grain bullet, achieving muzzle velocities between 1,200 and 1,350 feet per second, with corresponding muzzle energies ranging from roughly 1,037 to 1,618 foot-pounds depending on the load and bullet weight. It performs well for hunting large game, such as deer, hogs, and bear, due to its high energy and large bullet diameter, providing significant impact and penetration.
The .480 Ruger is beneficial for those needing a high-powered revolver caliber with comparatively manageable recoil, suitable for situations needing quick, powerful shots at shorter ranges. However, its significant power also demands robust firearms and practice to handle effectively.
