Comments
480 is a heavy round made to fit between the 44mag and the big/hot 475, 500, has more recoil than the 44mag , cost more , shells are harder to find , but it has less recoil than a 454 , great gun if you want the big bore without going to the expense of getting a 475 or 500 ,
also its(480) coming out in some of the single shot rifles so you could have a rifle /pistol combo
I don't know if it was the geometry of the gun, or what...But the 454 I had was a witch to hold on to ...even with good grips.
I find that reloading the 44 fills the bill for me. I like the 480 for the big pills, but it is a bit bulkier (Rugers).
If I can't do the job with a hot 44, I have to get the long gun.
44 ammo is probably more available in smaller stores.
ENJOY !
