.480 Ruger - Why didn’t it catch on?

[Steve300xcw]

After having a Smith 69 as my first wheel gun I'd definitely rather have a 22

What? Man that is such a sweet lil pistol. Grips do make a big difference though. Took me a few sets until I found what I needed The 4" version is on my shortlist

The trend among the most successful handgunners today are rapidly expanding bullets like CEB Raptors rathet than the wide meplat, non-expanding style.

Non-expanding?

Really want to try a 45lc

Do it.

Reloads are cheep cheep and a ruger only loads are stout.

44 is pretty cheap to load as well...and I own those

I can shoot squirrels with 44mag way cheaper than with a 17hmr....and the squirrels live a lot longer too!!

I picked up a 6" 586 a while back. Didnt need it, but how do you turn down a $450 S&W? Never had a 357. Was shocked at the muzzle blast. I was thinkin that was going to be my squirrel plinker 2000. Hell with that stupid gun. Back to the 44's I went!

Taurus and Freedom Arms also chambered 480 wheelguns and TC made 12" Encore barrels for it.

And Magnum Research, the BFR, which is what I have considered.
I will say my SRH 44 Mag does quite well!
