At one point there were 3 Ruger 480's here. A nephew attached himself to the Alaskan and it followed him home. Encore64's 480 mid-frame amazed me when I heard of it here. The 50GI or a 50 Special ? A neat idea. I know little of the 50 GI, what kinda bullet weight/velo's can you expect from say, a 5.5" ?

Allright Dangit, now i gotta have one of them to! Gonna make it just like this one. 45 Schofield with a 45 ACP Cylinder to match. Maybe make it a 50 AE/ 50 GI! What about the 500 special? Love the 50 Special! .510" Have a half a dozen or so. Even have one that is 1.2" in .500. Made out of 500 S&W. 350 XTPs work ok, but you gotta ream her out a bit for anything longer. This is my favorite 50 Special .510". Aluminum Bisley and 2 lbs 6.4 ounces. Spalted maple. pet load is 350 Leads and unique. Horsepower load is GC 400s and w296 or h110.

A lot of the smaller cartridges turn out impressive ballistics with modern powders.
This is why I decided on a Lightweight 45 Auto Rim from Clements. With modern powders, it beats the original 45 Colt ballistics.
Plus, they're handy in days like we are seeing now. A pound of powder goes a long ways.
Some very nice looking guns in this thread. Some just don't understand that the Magic Magnums aren't always needed.

You guys are killing me... I LOVE THE 50GI and want to do one on a DA frame. It would have to be on a Redhawk or DW frame.( I would love an interchangeable barrel gun) Guess I should talk to JRH about my 500 JRH build and get off my butt and get it moving..
