[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1828094, member: 87887"] I have the same Redhawk. Don't remember the charge weight. but used to shoot 296 for IHMSA competition. Most guys were running 296, H110, or 2400. I was never happy with the jacketed bullet performance on game so switched to the same cast bullet I shot in competition, a 300 grain hard cast, gas checked WFN from LBT. Leave a golf ball size wound channel no matter the shot angle. Shot a doe at close range that I jumped in the marsh grass. Broke the pelvis, several vertebrae, and exited the brisket. Make sure of your down range "beyond the target" (as always) if you go this route. Best advice I can give is practice, practice, practice. 50 yards was the biggest hurdle for me. Once I got this down, 100, 150, and 200 came easy. And this was with open sights. Pistols are unforgiving to shoot so they teach you amazing trigger control. Proficiency with them requires constant practice and this will only help with your rifle skills. [/QUOTE]
