Hello,Boys. Any of you all play with this cartridge? I recieved a Ruger Super Redhawk in 480 for my birthday back in May. I find factory loads insane for plinkin' around with.It's a real hand buster. I have about a 100 or so cast 420 gr.boolits.I want to load em down.I was thinking about using H110.I got a 8 pounder from an estate sale. |

Morning POLETAX >> Ya don't drastically download rounds using H110. That powder tends to have real inconsistent ignition issues when downloaded, creating potentially hazzardous conditions. General rule is reducing MAX published loads by 3% only. If that's still to heavy kicking for ya, I'd look at changing powders for a softer plinking load. Or bullet. There is a 325 gr. XTP for the .480 Ruger. Hodgdon lists 22.5 grs. of Lil'Gun as a light starting load that should be comfortable. 1400 fps or so. If ya need something lighter, they also list 13.0 grs. of Longshot as a starting load getting 1217 fps. That should really be a pup load. Just don't download H110 past 3% for your own safety. H110's a workhorse of a powder. Designed for the best top end performance in a lot of heavy hitting handgun rounds. Lightloading with it isn't it's strongsuit. Later. >> klallen

klallen,thanks for the reply. Yippers,I know all about downloading H-110.A fellow shooter had a pressure problem at the range. I was thinking around 19-20 grains.This fills the case fairly well with a 400 grainer pushed down on it.
