[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3931277, member: 27673"] [USER=4952]@hunter966[/USER] I missed not having a .44 Mag around after I sold my 5.5" Redhawk so I picked up a 7.5" Redhawk back in early May and so far I've tried three different powders and three different loads with each under Hornady # 44200 240 gr. XTPs which Hornady says will peform between 700 fps to 1500 fps........Unique, 452AA and W231. Both the Winch. 452AA and Unique shot accurately but were pretty sooty W231 shot just as accurate but was not as dirty so I went with 9.0 grs. of W231.......I'm not looking for a load that will beat me to death just something that is accurate and within the velocity ranges of the Hornady bullet. Hodgdon data with W231 and Hornady 240 gr XTP's with them using a 8.275" barrel; Min. 8.0 grs.......1021 fps. Max. 11.0 grs.......1272 fps. I like to play and I've still got some H110 and 2400 on hand to try as soon as it warms up. If you don't have any W231 and Hornady 240 gr. XTP's on hand I'd be glad to let you have a wheel full or two to try if you get down this way. It now wears Pachmayr Presentation (non finger groove) grips but here's my Redhawk.
