JKB, I'm not sure. I never really shot it for accuracy at a distance. I bought it from my buddy that has a .44Mag and he didn't like the recoil on the .480. I don't think it's bad, but I'm not a handgun shooter.

Here's a video I found.

The .480 case is just as long as a .44 Magnum case, but it's the same diameter as a .45-70 rifle case at the base, so it throws a .475" dia bullet..
