I'll take it. Please PM payment info. Thanks!

What caliber is the reload sized for?

As mentioned above, new Redhawks with one-piece barrels can still be found. Just order the correct model number. For example, model 5004 is the .44 magnum with 5.5" one-piece barrel, and it is available at various places online. I'm not positive about the model number for the one-piece 7.5"...

20% off all orders at the Nosler Shooter's Pro Shop (http://www.shootersproshop.com/) through midnight 5/29. Good time to stock up on factory second bullets at an additional discount if they have what you want.

The 44 Special Blackhawks are built on the 357 Magnum frame and have a 6 round capacity, and 3-screw 357 Magnums are often converted to 44 Special with 6 shots. Why only 5 shots in the GP100 44 Special?

The 12ga results are in the Rifle table, about 3/4 of the way down.

The recent "44 Special for Grizzly" thread reminded me of a US Forest Service article I came across some years ago: Safety in bear country: protective measures and bullet performance at short range. Their study included rifles, handguns, and the 12ga shotgun. Although it was published in 1983...

I was recently watching an older Massad Ayoob video where he was speaking to police trainers. He stated that many departments train with 38s and carry 357s in their revolvers, but when you shoot 38s it causes a little bit of erosion in the chamber ahead of the 38 brass. Then when you shoot a...

That helps a lot. Thanks.

Chief, thanks for the reply. I have a CZ 550 Safari Magnum. Here is a photo of the bullets. I have the most of numbers 1 and 2, the 270 grain bullets. There are only a few of each of the others, though I think I have a bag of loose number 4 as well.
