If you have been shooting proper 310 grain Hammer Heads in your 44 Magnum, recoil is pretty close.
Get Hogue Tamer Grips on the SRH, like come on the Alaskan. This helps with recoil a bunch. I have had 2 SRH's in 44 and 2 in 480. All have had Tamer Grips installed.
I have a pair of SRH 480's. I have never fired a factory loaded round through either of them. My advice to anyone who owns a 480, Get A Reloader. I have one source for lead bullets at around 20 cents each. That should put you at under 30 cents a round reloading for it.
Reloading also allows you to back it off of a maximum load for deer, and target shooting.
As far as I am concerned the 480 is the best revolver hunting cartridge ever designed. Plenty of power for anything in North America, and with tolerable recoil.
