I've test fired 3 loads in my 5.5" Redhawk using Cast Performance's gaschecked 300gr WFN. All three loads used H110. One was 19.5gr, the next was 20.5, and the final was 21.3gr. Based on the work of others, 21.5gr will yield 1250fps out of the 5.5" Redhawk with that bullet, so my heaviest load was in the 1200fps range likely.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to chrono these loads and likely won't for a few months. Does anyone happen to know what a 300gr WFN GC bullet will run with 19.5gr of H110 out of a 5.5" Redhawk?
All three loads were equally accurate, shot to the same POA, and didn't show any pressure signs. The 21.3gr load was a bit harsh, but nothing I couldn't master with practice. However, if the 19.5gr load is in my targeted 1100-1200fps range, I'll stick with that.
