Got a call from my toy store today, he says that my 480 Alaskan has came in, thought I was going to wet myself, had a 6shot on order for about two years, got a 44 and a 454 but no 480, then Ruger dropped them
so I started looking at getting a used one with no luck. Then they interdicted the 5 shot 480, and now I have one, just in time as I’m going north this weekend to look for some turkeys and now to try out the 5 shot.

That's got to be a killer to shoot! I don't think I'm man enough.

i've thought about the 454 myself, cost of ammo always changed my mind. Now that i'm getting starting in reloading i may revisit the idea.

All this big bore talk has me wanting to get my .500 out for a session. The only downside is it costs roughly the same to feed it as it would a small, 3rd world country.

to a small 3rd world country the .500 could be considered a WMD.

I'd like to have a 500 but I couldn't afford to shoot it.

You're starting to get stirred up to get a Redhawk with a 4" BBL. Got my tax rebate check aka new gun fund direct deposited today.
