Love my 480 Ruger. Two deer with it so far. Mostly I have been using handloads with 325g Hornady XTPs and 275 & 325g Speer Gold Dots. I have not yet made up any cast bullet loads. Recently I got some 275g Barnes copper XPBs. They recommend a load between 22 and 26g of H110/W296.

Has anyone made up loads with these boolits?

Hunting successes? Like them? Don't like them?

Call Ty. He'll set you right. But if those XPB's are anything like the .451 XPB's, they will need stout velocity to open up at all. Not that a .475 cal hole is anything to sneeze at....

Nice grips BTW.
