     GUN DETAILS   Ruger 454 Casull, Super Redhawk.
    Double action, six shot.
     OTHER DESCRIPTION  Max literature load I have found is 39 gr with MV = 2050. So this is a bit shy of max, but close enough I weigh each individual load on a balance, don't do by volume with a spoon.

    Accurate! Best loads usually 5-10% below max always. Nice blast, fun to shoot, recoil surprisingly nice.
