Nice shooting! Appreciate the insight on the bullet performance you encountered. Makes me feel better about picking up my Ruger Redhawk in 45 Colt. I'm not a dedicated handgun hunter, but always carry a sidearm when I'm out hunting with a rifle or accompanying others, but usually one of my .357's, or a 9mm semi-auto. When Ruger started making the 4" Redhawk in 45 Colt, it reminded me a little of the old "Mountain Gun" I used to see (and long for) in the magazines in the same chambering. I picked one up and am currently developing a load for the 255gr Keith SWC. I drew handgun javelina for the spring and will carry this. I just need to learn to shoot like you now. Well done!
