I enjoyed shooting the 454 more...once you do, it's something you won't soon forget

Never shot the RUGER 480, own the 454 casull love that gun, did have to change to a hogue grip, the ruger grip hurt my hand. Never thought there was much of a demand for a gun with more power than a 44 mag but not the power of a 454. I may be wrong.

Most handgunners have experience with these calibers, if this helps at all:

41 mag falls right in between 357 and 44 mag, both in the recoil and ft lbs. of energy dept.

Same with the 480, right in between the 44 and 454.

We're talking off the shelf ammo here, handloaders can twist things a bit.

You don't have to shoot full power .454C if recoil is a concern. There are factory light loads for that caliber.
