Loaded up 200 rds of 480 Ruger ammo today.I used mixed once fired brass along with Missouri flat nose 340 gr. lead bullits ,backed by 27 grs. of H110 powder.Used a lee factory crimp along with RCBS 480 Dies.Shot a few in the back yard at 25yds and was grouping about 2". Recoil was about like a factory 44mag to me. The Ruger had the rubber factory recoil tamer grips and did a very good job.I give this gun a 9 out of 10 for performance. It's very manageable,and accurate.
