I know it is hard to find right now, but for the cost of a cylinder along with shipping each way, you could sure buy a pretty good supply of 475 brass.

Just load down in the 475 brass and you don't have to worry about it. If I wasn 45 Colt loads, I load down in the 454 brass  I do the same. For $400 I can buy enough brass that I don't even care. |

I have a wonderful FA with both cylinders and run the 480 about 99% of the time now, actually I think I may have fired 3 475 cases in the gun in the last two years. I scrounged a bunch of 480 brass from different guys when 475 brass was nonexistent. The 480 is really all I want in that gun as I can run loads in 480 brass that are way over my comfort level.
That having been said I would not have ordered the 480 cylinder if it didn't come with the gun. For the time and money that a new cylinder costs you can buy a whole bunch of 475 brass and load them down. The extra cylinders dont really add any value when reselling a gun so that is $400 down the trash...

Sounds like you fire a great percentage more 480 Ruger rounds more than 475L rounds. Since you have another gun in 480 why not just skip the 475L? Just look at your 475 L cylinder as an extra long 480 Ruger cylinder that will accept real long bullets loaded out to give you more space in the cartridge for powder.
