My Puma in .480 is the King in my gun safe. There are better and nicer guns available, but that is what I own and it works pretty well. I haven't shot my new 1895GS yet, but the King might need to abdicate.

By the way, the 325 grain loads can be run up to nearly 1550fps in a 7½ inch barrel revolver, but they aren't much fun and the accuracy actually gets worse. I have the best accuracy from dropping the 325 grain bullets about 100fps from factory, and the 400 grain going about 150fps faster. Go figure.

Ricky did shoot my .480 Ruger Puma. I had it loaded with 400 grain Speer Gold-Dot flat points with H110. Over the Chrony it was moving about 1250 fps, and in the Puma it isn't too bad. Go up in velocity or weight and it starts to get uncomfortable. I can run it up to about 1400 fps in the Puma witho...

Bloomberg has sent undercover agents to other states to illegally purchase firearms. Why has he not been prosecuted for it. I guess being Filthy rich makes you above the law. I also don't remember him being prosecuted when he effectively ripped off the Bank of England to make himself rich.
