enough for bear?

Thanks everybody

Your Redhawk is a bulletproof tank of a revolver........ .

If and when you start to handload for it, Beartooth Bullets makes a great 300gr. WFNHCGC'd bullet that is the perfect compliment to your Redhawk and with your longer barrel (mine is a 4"), it will generate a bunch of velocity and energy.

That sidearm, coupled with the right load, would make Clint proud and bears cringe......... .

Good luck.

WFNHCGC?

What does this mean?

I googled it and it returned the bullets you described but no explanation.

Wide Flat Nose Hard Cast Gas Checked?

That's one hell of an acronym.

Picked up a bunch of these last year in a box for sell with a bunch of other stuff I wanted. Getting ready to load some in the next week or so.

Do hard cast mushroom up or do they stay solid in form through penetration?

Sometimes they will deform a little bit or break some material off the bullet as it penetrates hitting bone but no they do not mushroom in the traditional sense unless of course they are a hard cast hollow point

they do mushroom but the harder they are the less mushroom they get.  Personally I don't like them too hard. My fav blend is wheel weights and 4% lead free soder.  From the few 158gr LRN's I've recovered all expanded about <25% and retained 90-95% weight   Shooting these out of my 9mm at 986fps measured at 12' from muzzle
