I was looking over Gunblast.com. Jeff has an article on the Ruger factory. Here is a quote from his article

I had thought, as had many others, that the .480 Super Redhawk was a thing of the past, but I saw a couple of racks of them in assembly. Later, while we were at the indoor range, a technician wheeled in a cart of about twenty or so of the six-shot .480 Super Redhawks for function and accuracy testing, and I got to help with that a bit as well.


So maybe the 6 shot 480 is not gone quite yet. I hope it wasn't just extra parts being assembled to finish off what was left. Time will tell

I called Ruger and they said they had some 5 shot cylinders still “in stock” for those that were interested.
