Heavy 480 Ruger Pistol and Handgun Ammo

BUFFALO BORE LOW RECOIL 480 RUGER
370gr. HARD CAST-FN, GAS CHECKED @ 1,000 FPS
20 Round Box

ITEM 13B

This load (Item 13B) is designed for those who do not like the recoil and blast of our full power 480 Ruger loads, but still want a very usable “field” load for killing big game. Item 13B utilizes the same bullet as its’ full power counterpart, item 13A, but instead of achieving 1300 fps, like item 13A, it achieves roughly 1,000 fps, which reduces the recoil and muzzle blast by roughly half. Since this 370gr. hard cast, flat nosed bullet, does not expand on game animals at an impact velocity of 1300 fps, it won’t at 1,000 fps either and it will penetrate roughly 5 feet in living muscle and bone, even at the reduced 1,000 fps.

By moving this 370gr. bullet at 1,000 fps instead of 1,300 fps, the only disadvantage in killing big game will be that the impact of the flat nose will not be as dramatic as it would be at 1,300 fps, nor will the creation of secondary projectiles from bone chards/fragments be as dramatic, but penetration of the two loads, making a .475 inch diameter hole, will be roughly the same.

I have 5 different 475 Linebaugh chambered test revolvers that I used for developing all of our 480 Ruger loads. All five of these revolvers have either 5.5-inch or 6-inch length barrels. They are made by Freedom Arms, Jack Huntington, Dave Clements and Hamilton Bowen. When fired from these five revolvers, the slowest revolver yields a muzzle velocity of 1,001 fps and the fastest revolver achieves 1055 fps.
