Buffalo Bore .480 Ruger 370 Gr. Hardcast LBT Flat Nose- Gas Check- Box of 20

This load is designed for those who do not like the recoil and blast of full-power 480 Ruger loads, but still want a very usable “field” load for taking big game. Item 13B utilizes the same bullet as its’ full power counterpart, item 13A, but instead of achieving 1300 fps, like item 13A, it achieves roughly 1,000 fps, which reduces the recoil and muzzle blast by roughly half. Since this 370 gr. hard cast, flat-nosed bullet, does not expand on game animals at an impact velocity of 1300 fps, it won’t at 1,000 fps either and it will penetrate roughly 5 feet in living muscle and bone, even at the reduced 1,000 fps.

By moving this 370 gr. bullet at 1,000 fps instead of 1,300 fps, the only disadvantage in taking big game will be that the impact of the flat nose will not be as dramatic as it would be at 1,300 fps, nor will the creation of secondary projectiles from bone chards/fragments be as dramatic, but penetration of the two loads, making a .475 inch diameter hole, will be roughly the same.

This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.
