I have an old Ruger Redhawk 44 magnum that I picked up used about 15 years ago. Never shot it, so I was thinking about selling it. My kids convinced me to keep it and put a scope on it.




I loaded up some rounds with Xtreme 240gr RNFP 1.600” and Unique, to get it on paper and just get a general feel for it. I got it on paper @25yds with the 8.7gr load, then tried it at 50yds. 8.7gr was all over the place, 9.2gr was a little better, 9.8gr gave me a 6” group, the best of the day.

For my next trip out, I’ve got four new loads made up. This time I seated the 240gr Xtreme RNFP to 1.575”. The powders I’m trying are 12.5gr HS-6, 15.5gr AA7, 21.0gr IMR4227, and 10.5gr CFE Pistol.
