I'll be getting my Ruger SBH Bisley in .480 Ruger out of Purgatory soon and have already acquired the brass (Starline), dies (RCBS), and powder (H110) I'll be using to load her with.

All that's missing is my final decision on Bullets. So, I'm looking for bullet and weight recommendations for said cartridge.

I'll be hunting deer/pig sized game with the revolver. Nothing larger than that in a realistic future.

I already load 325gr WFN-GC in my .44 Mag heavies and 350gr RFN-GC in my .454 Casulls. So, I was looking to go for the 400s in weight. But, economy and need may kick in as well.

Basically, I can get:
340gr RFN-PB Coated Bullets (300 count) from MO Bullet Company for about the same price as 400gr WFN-GC Bullets (100 count) from Montana Bullet Co.

Which would you recommend or is there another bullet and weight I should look at?

Much grats.
