The Hornady Custom 480 Ruger ammunition delivers maximum stopping power for hunting and self-defense applications. This premium cartridge features the proven XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet design engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration on large game.
What Makes This Different
The 325-grain XTP Mag bullet provides superior weight retention compared to standard hollow points, maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle. Hornady's proprietary powder blend ensures consistent velocities while the nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and feed smoothly in revolvers. This ammunition achieves muzzle velocities of approximately 1,350 fps, generating over 1,300 foot-pounds of energy.

This ammunition excels in hunting scenarios requiring deep penetration on elk, bear, and other large game at ranges up to 100 yards.
