Hi ya all, it has been a very long time since I have been here, just got doing other things, mainly shooting and reloading. Thanks for the kind words on the article, and yes I got those velocities with that gun and it has held up wonderfully. In my opinion the Redhawk is a mid 40,000 psi level gun and makes a great gun for the ones out there who would lilke a custom 5-shooter but can't afford the price but still want the extra performance over the Blackhawk. My friend Marshall was right on the mark about the nose to crimp length of the 350gr bullet. That bullet was designed for the longer cylinder of the Redhawk, Super Redhawk and Anaconda only. In all reality I could of gone higher with that bullet but I just happened to stop there and never got back to it. In my .44 Redhawk with the 7 1/2 barrel and Marshall's 300gr DCG bullet I have taken it to 1550 fps and near 1" groups. Also with his 325gr LCMNGC 1475 fps is easily reached and again extremely accurate, and is my personal favorite. Not many people research into the Redhawk or know its limitations, some people take this gun into the 50,000 psi level and have been doing so for many years, but the 40,000 level is more than I want to handle in this frame style. As you already know this is a BIG gun and you must have somewhat large hands to handle it comfortably. So thanks again for the kind words and thanks Marshall for the opportunity to share my findings.
God Bless
