44 mag range report
Weather finally broke here in southern Michigan and I was able to get to the range to try out some loads I have been working on. I have a Ruger Super Redhawk with 7.5 inch bbl. Got sick of the fast and furious 240 XTP's with H 110 so I tried Mt. Baldy 255 grain Keith bullets with 10 grains of Unique. Off a standing sandbag bench I was getting 2.5 - 3 inch groups with open sights. I have an aftermarket Weigland fiber optic front sight. (I think it's weigland if I remember). I was shooting a bit to the left but I think that was me.. I put my Bushnell scope on and I was able to keep 4 out of 6 in a 1 - 1.5 inch ring at 25 yards. Anybody have any experience with this or a similar load for whitetail. I have loaded MANY 240 grain XTP's with H-110 and just got tired of the recoil. so I thought I would try the tried and true cast bullets at a moderate speed.
