Had a couple hours to do a little multitasking including a 31 rounds with the new .480 Bisley, very informal didn't have crono and a brisk headwind today took a few shots with 2 factory loadings let me say I really want to work up some 400 plus grns but that will have to wait till this winter.
First let me say wow I like ,
A few observations, I am 6'-3" 275 and am used to manhandling my .44s I learned by way of strikes to my middle finger knuckle today that I will have to learn some technique to handle this thing properly and avoid the slight pain to the knuckle a glove would sure help but I would rather learn to manage it properly,also my fingers are large enough that while grasping,that knuckle touches the back of the trigger guard.
All shells nickel and brass ejected effortlessly which is nice,
The factory trigger pull is absolutely the best I have ever encountered from any factory ruger single action very smooth no creep, fairly light, no stacking etc I will have to stick the gauge on it and measure
As far as kick, abuse or however one describes it, I would say going from .480 to .44 felt like going from .44 to a 9mm for me at least so power and recoil is very manageable I think but not for the very sensitive with that said this reinforces my belief that one can get the same job done with a heavy .480 load as can a standard .454 which after today I have to think the .454 must be very abusive when loaded to the max
I would also say this revolver is much more capable than its handler
Again this was spur of the moment very informal
I will post some pics one at a time sorry my I pad will only let me do one at a time
