Heavy 480 RUGER LEAD FREE Pistol and Handgun Ammo

BUFFALO BORE LEAD-FREE 480 RUGER
275 gr. - BARNES XPB @ 1500 FPS
20 Round Box

ITEM 13D

Buffalo Bore has had numerous requests for an expanding 480 Ruger load. We’ve chosen the Barnes all copper homogenous XPB bullet for this load. This bullet will expand to about .75 caliber when fired into living flesh and bone at expected impact velocities.  A .75 caliber wound hole is deadly on animals that do not require deep penetration because opening a relatively (relative to a 3,000 fps rifle cartridge) slow-moving revolver cartridge will stop deep penetration. You should get 2.5 to 3 feet of penetration with this load, depending on the bones you hit and that is sufficient for killing animals up to the 500 lb. range for most shot angles and up to a 1,000 lbs., if you pick only broadside lung shots.

This load is accurate in all five of my 475 Linebaugh test revolvers and relatively low recoil, due to the light bullet weight. If you are hunting deer, hogs, black bear or any other game in this size range with a 480 Ruger, this load will have no peer.

Out of my Freedom Arms model, 83 chambered in 475 Linebaugh, I averaged 1530 fps with a five shot string and a low 9 fps standard deviation.

➤ 1530 fps -- Freedom Arms Model 83

Note:

For shooting very large animals (up to 2,500 lbs.) at any angle, use our hard cast 410gr. load, (item 13C) which will normally penetrate 6+ feet in muscle and bone at expected impact velocities.  This bullet is making a .48 caliber hole, unexpanded.
