[QUOTE="backyardsniper, post: 1827405, member: 20657"] Trying something new. I have a redhawk that I've had for years and I've always shot it here and there but never really practiced in earnest but I killed a deer a couple years ago with a revolver and ever since I have really gotten into it. I'm basically looking for any load advice or practice techniques or any advice you have to offer. Here's what I'm working with. Redhawk 7.5" 44mag. I just ordered some rings for it, I've got a Leopold 2.5-8 vx3 pistol scope on hand. 1000pcs of.brand new star line brass I just ordered 900 240gr keith style SWC that I picked up for target practice as well as about 300 200gr Rainer plated bullets. I'm currently running 8.5gr of HP38 with the 240swc as a plinking load and I believe it is 22gr of 2400 with the 200gr bullets as a bit stouter practice load. Any handgun hunting tips, what reasonable performance I can expect from this package, particularly good hunting bullet/powder combos I should look at. Shoot me whatever advice any of you dedicated wheelgun hunters out there have to offer. [/QUOTE]
