Doing some armchair research tells me the brass is about 1/8” longer. Will 480R cases fit in the window?
Sorry for the follow-up post. I bought it as a

have done the 480 conversion on the mid-frame flat top Rugers. The are a 5 shot conversion with oversize cylinder and requiring the same amount of "work" as large frame conversions in the 500's, so the cost is generally the same for the little gun as the big ones.
looking at the numbers I would hesitate to do it. The

rims of the case would at least touch and possibly overlap even on a beefy 5 shot cylinder. That would make it unsafe for sure. I will pass on it. let the other custom gun guys do it if they like.
