I have 2 475s and one 480. I typically only need 480 power loads. A 350gr at 1100 fps is plenty of power and not punishing at all. If you need more it certainly can do it. The 454 and the 460/500s outshine it for velocity and power but for practicality its only second to my 45 Colts.

What does anyone think about the 480R?

For a factory cartridge it is highly underrated.
