Hello,
New to forum, but not handguns or Rugers. Looking to purchase a Redhawk. While I will shoot some 44 Special and "regular" factory ammo loads, I may want to let it rip now and then. I know Rugers are stout (love my GP100), and I like the look and feel of the Redhawk vs Super Redhawk for my purposes. Can this gun handle a buffalo bore load like this?:
Heavy .44 Magnum +P+ Ammo - 340 gr. Hard Cast, L.F.N. - G.C. (1,478 fps/M.E. 1,649 ft. lbs.)
This gun will likely be the 7.5", and be used for target shooting (not a hunter). While I know that the "typical" 44 mag round is robust, there is something very satisfying to shooting a boomer load now and then (used to load my Colt Anaconda with 325 gr Hornady XTP's back in the day and push them to 1300+ fps - in 45 Colt, not 44). Forsee any issues?
Thanks in advance,
Ron
