I am seriously thinking of buying a Ruger Super Redhawk in 480. I read a good article in American Hangunner on reloading the 480. I dont currently have the tools for reloading but am gonna get into it shortly. I was gonna go with the 454 until I read up on the 480 round. Just wondering if any of you alls can provide me with hands on info as far as performance, recoil and handling characteristics. Also, let me know how it performed in a hunting situation when the time comes. I have read alot of articles on this weapon and have handled one but never shot it. Gonna use it for hunting animals from hogs in Georgia to black bear in Pa and all others in between. (ie. deer, javalina and so on). Any info would definitely help me decide. Thanks.
