I was just cleaning my Super Redhawk a few minutes ago as I'm thinking of going to the range in the next couple of days.   My preferred bullet is the 429421 SWC that weighs around 255 grains (as cast).  The mould says 240 grains but mine come out heavier.    A very accurate bullet in the big Redhawk.

 :yeah: I use the same bullet 260'ish grains lubed and ready to load cast out of wheel weights.  I run them behind Unique for mid-range loads, and behind 2400 for the rhino rollers (1300fps) out of a Super Blackhawk hunter.   Great bullet.  works well.

I really liked the 320s in my last 44 mag.

  My favorite, but I am down to my last 2 1/2 boxes of them.  They are a little old though. lol
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me
