.480 Ruger Ammo Prices

Ruger and Hornady teamed up in 2003 to build a big-bore revolver round that hit hard without the absolute punishment of the .475 and .500 monsters. It fires a fat heavy bullet at sensible pressure and does genuine work on large game from a Super Redhawk. The thinking person's big-bore. Serious power with manners you can actually live with.

Loads run 275 to 400 grain in the modest hunting offerings that exist. A niche big-bore priced accordingly in small boxes. The revolver hunters who chose it stock up whenever it appears because it does not sit on shelves for long.
