Now take a reamer to it and go 475 Turnbull... Just kidding of course but imagine what it would do out of a #1 "properly" loaded...

I have been thinking about the .475 Linebaugh Long, but in the Ruger No. 1, I can seat the bullets out farther anyway, effectively increasing powder capacity. However, as is, a bullet will completely pass through a bison side to side, leaving a huge hole. What more is needed.

Gentlemen,
Today we added a short video to demonstrate just how mild the recoil is on this rifle.

When the really big-bore revolver rounds started coming out, I said that rounds like the .480 Ruger and .500 S&W would make fine carbine rounds. Nice to know that the folks at Ruger agree with me. Now, how about a lever or pump in this chambering?

reamer to 470 nitro express, why play with the little rounds!

Is there any new updates on this Rifle. There is still not much out there on the net.

Ruger needs this in a 500sw mag!

And in a compact 16-20' inch barrel. The 500 would be used in dense cover or our Midwest woods. A short barrel. Not a long one.
