It's a .470 NITRO! But with .480 Ruger bullets and special lighter charges anyone can shoot it. A 325 gr. bullet at 1200-1500 fps is very formidable in the game field. You can keep the Elephants out of your tomatoes with it. Trail Boss is a smokey hoot but you will still only get 100-120 shots from your 8 oz. (pound) can of Trail Boss. But for cast bullet shooting it's very economical and you can even use large pistol primers. That's plenty of fun though.

A 5 gal. bucket of sand (with lid) will stop all your bullets so you can melt and use them again. Gary's trick with the Rubbermaid trash can is great. I use (3) 55 gal. drums for my backstop. It lasts a long time rotating them.
