[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 2425316, member: 6078"] 480 is 48k psi. 475 is 50k. Same pressure, same loads if loaded to same length. 480 is not a 475 special. You simply cut chambers to 1.4, drop 475 linebaugh rounds in and fire away with no issues. I have done that many times. Both of my own 480's are 475s now, and it really isnt even necessary unless you are using bullets you can't load long to linebaugh length in 480 brass. If ruger cared at all about guys clambering guns, they'd never have built a single 45colt or 44 special or 38 special. Now those guns might actually break if you cut chambers and tried firing 454, 44mag, or 357 in them. The only shortcoming the 480ruger has, is branding. its a 475 linebaugh, with mud on its face...thanks to rugers pathetic marketing. [/QUOTE]
