Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms are compatible with the .480 Ruger cartridge?
The .480 Ruger cartridge was developed in partnership between Hornady and Sturm, Ruger, and is primarily chambered in large-frame Ruger Super Redhawk revolvers. Some other manufacturers have also chambered their big-bore revolvers for this cartridge. Always verify your specific firearm's chambering before purchasing, and consult your owner's manual to confirm compatibility.
Is the Hornady XTP bullet suitable for hunting large game?
Absolutely. The XTP Mag bullet is specifically designed for hunting applications where deep penetration and controlled expansion are critical. The serrated jacket and optimized lead core ensure the bullet expands reliably at a wide range of impact velocities while retaining the weight needed to reach vital organs on large game such as deer, elk, black bear, and even dangerous game at appropriate ranges.
Can the brass casings from this ammunition be reloaded?
Yes. Hornady uses high-quality, Boxer-primed brass cases in their Custom line, making them fully reloadable. The casings are manufactured to tight tolerances, which means they resize and reload consistently. After firing, inspect each case carefully for signs of wear or stress before reloading, and follow published reloading data for the .480 Ruger cartridge to ensure safe and accurate handloads.
