Sixgun Nut
I actually did my longhorn hunt last year without ever firing a shot on paper. Sighted it in shooting at small rocks at the old man's pond with the Beartooth 355gr at 1250fps. Last week I shot the 310gr load consisting of Oregon Trail's WFN with a huge .370" meplat at about 1400fps. Now I'm testing the Grizzly 300gr Punch bullet in their factory offerings, both the long and short version. The longer version is advertised at 1200fps and loaded long for those guns with longer cylinders, like the Redhawk and Super Redhawk. The short version is for everything else and 1100fps. Plus Buffalo Bore's 340gr +P+ load, just because I always wanted to try them. All groups are five shots at 25yds.

300gr Punch (long) after sight adjustment.
340gr Buffalo Bore.
The Super Redhawk.
Heavy duty hunting loads for a heavy duty hunting sixgun.
The longer version of the 300gr Punch load takes up nearly all of the available space in the cylinder. Even longer than the Buffalo Bore 340gr.
