Real world opinions on 454 Ruger SRH?

[Never Been]

This one might go cheap. Obviously the barrel length is marked incorrectly, I messaged the seller to confirm.

Its one of my favorite hunting revolvers. Ive killed many animals in africa with it. I had the trigger tuned by jrh gunsmithing. Incredible gun. I have several. 454’s 480’s and 44’s. The 454 is the best

I had the SRH model you mentioned. Nothing wrong with it. Reasonable accuracy. No mechanical issues.
I decided after hunting with it a few times that handgun hunting was not my game.
I sold it and bought the Alaskan.

I too have looked at the .480 Ruger. You can almost reload it to .475 Linebaugh ballistics but finding reasonably priced factory ammo/reloading brass is a problem. IMO, Ruger should've chambered their SRH in the Linebaugh which would have revitalized that cartridge similar to the Casull in a 6 shot DA revolver.

Starline made a run of 480 Ruger brass not too long ago.
Apparently they just released another run. Starline, Graf & Sons, and Midway show it in stock, if anyone is looking for it.

I used to be an avid handgun hunter. I had a 7.5” SRH stainless in .454. It was a little rough. Later purchased a 6” Taurus Raging Bull. It was smoother and more accurate. Recoil was more manageable as well. Sold the SRH.
Hope this helps.
