.475 Linebaugh / .480 Ruger

[Blue Avenger]

I understand you can shoot .480 Ruger in place of the .475 Linebaugh. Also the .480 Ruger will chamber .454 casull, .45 colt and .45 Schofield rounds. Would putting these smaller rounds in the .475 be like putting 9mm through a .357? To loose to be worth the effort? Not taking into account the carbon fire ring that you would have to remove for safety! LOL I have to much "Free Time" to think today

You CANNOT fire any 45 caliber loads in a 475. That would be like shooting a 41mag in a 44mag. You'd only do it once!!!!

not disagreeing, more of a wondering why ok in the 480 but not 475?

It’s not ok to shoot 45 in 480 either.

the 480 is to the 475L

what the 38s is to the 357mag and 357 max

and what the 44s is to the 44 mag.

Like I say not arguing, just getting myself the correct information. I can already guess if you did not have a failure you would have an undersize bullet rattling down the barrel creating flyers

No sir. Not arguing at all. I think you could have just misinterpreted this part….just guessing.

“Revolvers chambered in .460 S&W Magnum can usually accept .454 Casull, .45 Colt, and .45 Schofieldrounds as well (in the same way that a .475 Linebaugh revolver can take .480 Ruger)”

the 460 takes those rounds.
