No i haven't slugged the barrel yet.
What would be most common size for a 480 ruger? I think it would be .476 and if thats the case i may be able to load as cast. I have a .476- 400 RF double plain base mold. Friend of mine bought me the mold if i would make some cast for him and i was not sure of the correct size. I do plan a giving him some soft lead cast 480 boolits i made so he can check all the cylinder throats to see if they are all consistan and hopefully he will slug the barrel also..
That is a BEOWULF of a bullet ain't it.

475/480

I shoot .476" sized cast boolits in mine BUT the cylinder throats are closer to .477".

My groove diameter is 0.4751 and my throats are 0.4781. I shoot 0.478 boolits.
