The Super Redhawk Alaskan in .480 Ruger is the most shootable of the three Alaskan calibers — the .480 Ruger's lower peak pressure and larger diameter bullet produce less sharp recoil than .454 Casull while delivering comparable energy. Many Alaskan guides prefer the .480 Alaskan specifically because they can deliver fast, accurate follow-up shots in a way that the .454 version does not allow.
