I totally agree. The glove really helps and not fighting the recoil as well.

Dan - I picked those up on the big auction site a couple months ago. They were originally no name finger grooved grips that just didn't fit my hand. I removed the finger grooves and refinished the grips in Tung oil. They work a lot better now.
...and I doubt there was any information given from Ruger for the 50K loads referenced from the article for the 45colt in a Redhawk.mohavesam said:Your question is useful only upon answers from Ruger engineers. We know Ruger uses at least three types of steel for RH and SRH cylinders, but the barrel forcing cone and other timing/lockup parts also come int play when pondering over-loading SAAMI-specific pressures (per chambering).
Years in heat-treat and mattlography, but it means nil if you cannot get the factory specs and ANSI/ASTM data for a particular steel w/HT specs.

The 80% figure is derived from testing the guns to destruction.RalphS said:Where did the ammo makers and reloading manuals get 32K CUP from? AFAIK, they derived it from the 44 Magnum max of 40K CUP. The 45LC cylinders are, supposedly, 80% as strong as the 44M cylinders based on just measuring the cylinder wall thickness with a caliper. So, basically it's just a Scientific Wild Ass Guess.
Both, depending on the source.RalphS said:Just to be clear, Ruger Only Loads in 45LC are measured in CUP, not PSI.
Pearce has provided similar data for the .44Mag. As you state, the case runs out of powder capacity. However, there is 60,000psi data for the Freedom Arms 83.RalphS said:To answer Jimbo's question about the 44M RH, I would assume that the 44M RH can easily handle the same pressures as the 45LC RH. I have both and the difference is that you can only stuff so much H110 into a 44M case.
Standard pressure data from Hodgdon accomplishes this. I shoot this load in Ruger single actions.RalphS said:I've loaded a 355 gr. Beartooth bullet to 1220 fps (my RH44 has a 5.5 inch barrel).
Arisin' Wind said:Nice video. The recoil didn't look that bad. The ports on the barrel must really help.
SweetWilliam said:Everyone is different. Some like to shoot light loads some medium & some full power. Me personally like then all. But theirs nothing like going out & shooting 50 full power loads once in awhile no matter what gun your shooting.
I just shot some 45colt 360gr cast loaded with 21grs. of H110. A little stout but felt good to have that power.

So, is time to go get a Redhawk 45 Colt?
