[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 348250, member: 10"] Robster, I believe I was using 21 or 22 grains of H-Lilgun under the cast performance 425 WFNGC bullets. One note that you will have to do. Take each bullet and clean out the closest lube groove to the crimping groove. Then use this cleaned out groove for the new crimping groove. There is PLENTY of room in the big Super Red Hawk cylinder for the added length and it will give you many grains more capacity. In fact, in a five shot 480 Ruger, seated long this way, you can match the 475 Linebaugh because case capacities are nearly identical. In the 6 shot Ruger I would not go over 1200 fps but always watch for extraction issues. That is why I always recommend doing load development shooting a full cylinder of rounds and in a dirty cylinder. This will show pressure signs much sooner then only one or two cases in the cylinder and clean chambers. Some SRHs have gotten up over 1200 fps, some will get extraction issues at around 1150 fps. In the end, anything over 1100 fps and you will never find one of these bullets in a hog unless your shooting them length wise and even then you will generally get full penetration on most hogs. You can get these bullets from [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com"]www.midwayusa.com[/URL] They were keeping them in stock so I would check with them first or you can order direct from Cast Performance. Amazing bullets. [/QUOTE]
