You can really beat yourself to death with a .475 LB. I put it just behind the .454 as for the worse to shoot wheelgun there is. Recoil is very snappy. I shot my hog at the first new HHC in TX with a Reeder .475 LB and 400 gr. bullet at 1150 fps. Easily duplicated in that Redhawk .480. I later switched to a 325 gr. at 1250 fps which was much more pleasant to shoot and still shot through anything you pointed it at.

The domestic .480 is a fantastic cartridge and much better in the real world. On the same trip Doug shot a hog in the eye at about 30 steps, in the dark! The load was a 355 gr. at 1250 fps. Again duplicate in a .480, which didn't exist back then.
