Cool! :)
Congrats!!!
That is so awesome!!
How long was the shot?
Did you recover the bullet? or was it a pass through?
Never gave much thought to the 480Ruger as a pistol hunting cartridge . . . but why not. Plenty of close range power. Cuts a nice wide hole going in,WFNGC's available. Good choice. Especially in the little single shot.
Love my Pro Hunter.
Congratz on the nice deer. --- SAWMAN
40yd shot, complete pass through. Deer ran about 40yds after being hit. A couple pics of the internal damage.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aa232e0a1e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3246ba212a.jpgQuote:

I love the caliber. Very accurate and the recoil is mild compared to what people say about the .454, .460 and .500.Quote:

The 480 Ruger is very potent in a rifle. I’ve never chronographed mine, but that 410gr wfngc never stops after it hits something.Quote:
