480 RUGER Ammo

The 480 Ruger was introduced in 2003 for the Ruger Blackhawk revolver, and proceeded to become a niche round for (A) handgun hunters, and (B) people who want to do everything in their power to avoid getting eaten by bears. This round’s muzzle velocity is nowhere near as fast as that of the more common 357 Magnum, although its far heavier bullet (typically 325 or 410 grains) ensures deep enough penetration to access Yogi’s ticker.
