Ok, I'm a total newby to this forum and to the Super Redhawk I own. I started pistol shooting this winter when it became obvious that my 35 year bowhunting career was over due to damage caused to shoulder joint by too many arrows from too heavy a bow. Pistols put me into the same relative effective hunting range as my longbows did.
Here are some of the problems/questions.
Bullet crimp. How much and how could you possibly measure how much.
Lead bullets. I have been shooting E & E Bullets, Bull-X bullets and my own Lee wheel weight bullets. Anything over a listed velocity of 900 fps or so leads so badly that the edges of the grooves disappear after about 50 rounds.
People on the forum talking about 2" groups a 50 and complaining about 6" groups a 75. Only in my dreams. I can get 3 to 4 inch groups at 25. So am I doing something really wrong or is there a bit of warm air around.
What is the velocity loss caused by the air gap in the revolver? (Ball park)
What can I expect to gain over the test barrels results by having the 9.5 barrel.
I don't have access to a chronograph so I can't measure for my self.
I have learned more about the art of pistol shooting in this forum than any other source.
Keep up the good work.
