I was obsessed with Ruger Redhawks a few months ago. I wanted to get one in .44 Magnum so badly as bear medicine and a backup for close-up shots on running deer. But the price tag went a long way in dissuading me. Someday...

I tried a bunch of handloads in my Swede but the best accuracy I get is from factory Sellier & Bellot loaded with the 131 gr softpoint. I never could get a handload as accurate as that and several years ago Natchez SS had a sale for $8.99 a box. I ordered a whole bunch of it and am still shooting that up. I'm keeping the brass of course since my handload with a Hornady was just slightly less accurate and with the Swede you don't need premium bullets to take deer sized game which is all I use it for.
