I've had some fun working loads for my Super Redhawk, but I figured it was time to pick a load and spend more time shooting. In the cast vs. jacketed discussion, I finally came down on the jacketed side, for powerful hunting guns at least. So the Cast Performance 410 got set aside. Hornady's 325 XTP works well. It was developed specifically for this round. And it appears to have been discontinued! No longer listed on Hornady's website. Speer's 325 Deep Curl is still listed, but nobody (please prove me wrong) has them in stock. Maybe I'll be writing a "whatever happened to the 480 Ruger" thread.
So, I'm left with two 275 grain bullets. Barnes' XPB is fast and accurate and pricey. Well, OK, this isn't a cheap round to shoot. Much cheaper, and available, is Speer's 275 Deep Curl. That one I have not tested.
If I can get my hands on more 325 Deep Curl, I'll go with that. Meanwhile, 480 shooters (and opinionators), what do you think of those 275s? Should I stock up while I can?
