Do to the recent threads on lever guns and big bore pumpkin throwers my interest in the 480 ruger has been rekindled. I first seen this caliber chambered in a Win model 94, I couldn't find much info (some reloading data) at the time.
-Just wonder if anybody has any experince with this caliber?
-looking for some field reports on deer/bores or anything else.
-after looking at the reloading data it looks to be about same effective range as a 44mag (in rifle) am I right to assume?

I did find a good article at http://hunting.about.com/library/wee...t480rugerb.htm
