Got a quick question.
I'm in the mood for a double action .44. I've owned a SRH in the past and liked it a lot.
I like the looks of the RH in 5.5. I don't want to scope this either. So between the 5.5 barrel preference and the no need for the scope, I have a question.
Is the RH and SRH the same in their strength? I like some heavy Buffalo Bore loads, and eventually I'd like to dabble in reloading.
From the info at Buffalo Bore's website, I'm inclined to believe they are:
•.44 Mag.: Use only in Ruger Redhawk/Blackhawk, Colt Anaconda, Freedom Arms and Dan Wesson Revolvers. Use in all S&W revolvers made since 1989. Use in T/C, Winchester 1894 and Marlin 1894.
•.44 Remington Magnum +P+: Use only in Ruger Super Blackhawk, Vaquero, Redhawk, or Super Redhawk models, Freedom Arms model 83, Taurus Raging Bull & Dan Wesson revolvers, Thompson/Center Encore, Winchester 1894 and Marlin 1894 rifles, the H&R Handirifle and any rifle with a falling block action.
Thought I'd ask the experts here.
Thanks in advance!
