I think the Ruger .480 is going to bomb

So theres this guy, me, who finally gets to shoot his 454, and now his gut feeling bout the 480 has more merit than just whimsical thinking. I dont see why the Ruger folks made the thing. The 454 isnt such a hard kicker. Why do you want a 480 when the 454 cost less, at least around here, and the 480 cant pack the punch, and doesnt really do much more than the 44? It seems they'd have learned. The 357, 41 and 44, remember that? The 41 is good, I have one, but its just not that popular, and Ruger dropped it from its line up in the Redhawk. Now they've done the same thing, .44, 480 and 454. Theyve done it for the same reasons I believe, how long before the 480 gets dropped from the line up? Any takers? I love Ruger, but I think this was a mistake. I guess I should buy a 480, cause it will probably go up in price like the 41, huh?, when they drop it from the line up? Kind of reminds me of the Hawkeye, hhmmmm.....??
