  A:

  Rob, 475 Linebaugh is only a little hotter than the .480. The .480 Ruger (12.1×33mmR) is a large, high-power revolver cartridge, introduced in 2003 by Sturm, Ruger and Hornady. The .475 Linebaugh was introduced around 1988 as a custom, 5-shot Ruger Blackhawk single-action revolver. The .475 is a wildcat cartridge made by cutting the .45-70 case to a length of 1.4 inches (36 mm), and necking it to accept a .475 bullet. The .475 Linebaugh is an immensely powerful cartridge, almost as powerful as the .454 Casull. Neither is up to the capabilty of the .45-70 even in a rifle

  A:

  If you only plan to shoot "Factory" ammunition Daniel, the "Short" Cylinder model will be fine and save some weight on the pistol. The "Long" Cylinder is what reloaders, they may use to "long load" real heavy custom loads.
