Here's an updated list (note that all the serial numbers in large size font are 10" guns. I have also added to this list the 4-5/8" and 6-1/2" guns that are closest to these 10" blocks or that are actually within the 10" blocks...note that there are around ten 10" numbers in addition to approximately 15 serial numbers in 4-5/8" or 6-1/2" that were added from the Bob Campbell list, currently maintained by Ale-8(1):


6-groove:

Note that all .357's in my notes prior to 22249 are either 4-5/8" (most) or 6-1/2".

Add 23151 to the list. I thought you had that one already but don't see it on the list.

OK...the list is updated, so if anybody has a 10" .357 that's not on this list, please let us know.
I'm also going to begin putting in odd barrel lengths (4-5/8" and 6-1/2") where they've been noted to each side of the 10" blocks. Note that the 4-5/8" and 6-1/2" serial numbers will all be noted with barrel length, and the font will be smaller.
The 10" serial numbers will all be the larger font.

Another odd one showed up....37016. But this is still within the parameters of Ruger's production methods....i.e. serial numbered frames assembled at random with barrels, although the 10" guns are still generally within their own serial number blocks.
I am told 37016 also has a Super Blackhawk grip frame on it so the owner is now working on getting a letter from Ruger to see when it was shipped. If it was shipped later than most 10" guns, or even as a factory "second", anything could be possible with the grip frame (at least two of the four known factory "second" Hawkeyes also have Super Blackhawk grip frames).
