well guys i cant sit here and talk about this much more. i was going to start another thread on the recoil of the 44mag vs 454/45colt vs 480 ruger chamberd in the super redhawk with the 7.5" barrel.
i think the gunshop i freguent has this pistol in 454 and 480. im thinking ill round up some tradeing goods and see what happens. if nothing else i may trade my silver leo for a used 4 POWER LEO exstended eye relief scope that they have. its got the bigger objective. ill have to see if itl fit over the super redhawk with sites mounted. i think it will.
i realy want the pair. super alaskan and long barrel red hawk for hunting, but am stunned on wich caliber to get. im not worried about caliber in the alaskan as it will be a personell defense. though i will probly till i can hit decent with it at 10yds or so if not farther.
but the 480 is what i want. if recoil is quite big difrence over the 44mag in the 7.5" barrel i may be in for more than i realy want. as far as handleing recoil goes.
also i havent seen much more than hornady factory ammo available. i have no real desire to load for the pistols.
ruger says the 480 makes 1/3 more energy than the 44mag, with less recoil than the 454 casull. but the 454 can chamber and fire 45colt rounds. so is the a better option over the 480 ruger as far as hunting and punching paper goes.
ill be back in few before i go to see if ayones got any advice for me.
it may come down to just how much i realy think i want the 480 ruger.
thanks
Evan
