Wow, guys! Thank you for all your feedback. It's great to hear stories such as these!
Like I mentioned before it was the 44mag that finally pushed me into reload although I have the dies for my other cartridges: 45acp, 223rem and 308win.
I'm still trying to gather my reloading components in these difficult times.
Not sure why I have the 223rem other than perhaps as an understudy rifle for my 308win. It's defintely a cheaper cartridge to shoot with hardly any recoil.
Living in Indiana not alot of varmints to hunt, for predators perhaps coyote hunting?
Ironically I bought the 44mag Redhawk in anticipation of my move to Indiana from Pennsylvania as Indiana did not allow high power rifle cartridges at that time.
