Hornady - Jacketed Hollow Point - 400 Grain 480 Ruger Ammo - 20 Rounds

When Ruger introduced the .480 in 2003 it was billed as a .475 Linebaugh “Special”, which admittedly misled people and their impressions of the cartridge. Capable of being fired in .475 chambers, the goal of Ruger was to balance bullet velocity with a heavy projectile to get one of the better big wheelgun calibers when it comes to recoil. Target shooters and hunters alike have remarked that for energy to kick, the .480 is surprisingly manageable and comparatively even a pleasure to fire. While it took twelve years or Ruger to offer their single action Super Blackhawk model in the caliber, the Super Redhawk was the flag ship for the caliber and remains Ruger’s contribution to the large bore, dangerous game hunting revolver sport. The 400 grain jacketed, XTP hollow point by Hornady has a muzzle velocity of 1100 feet per second with 1075 foot pounds of energy. This is a high-performance sporting and defense round.

Hornady has been providing premium sporting and hunting ammunition since the 1960’s. Their XTP, or Extreme Terminal Performance bullet provides the best in aerodynamic performance and expansion into the target so all of the energy from the cartridge is transferred into the target.
