I didn't think I had posted velocity.
I've had both the Redhawk and Super Redhawk before, along with a 7.5" SBH. I prefer the Redhawk for looks, mostly. The RH and SRH were 7.5 inchers, if I get another, it'll have a 4-whatever inch barrel. They carry so much better with the shorter barrel.
Both of the 300 grain bullets I'm using are hardcast lead, one a WFN at 1.6", the other a LCMN DCG at 1.725". The WFN at 1200 fps will penetrate plenty of animal, and I haven't had anything stop the LCMN DCG either. The extra OAL allows for a little more speed at the same pressure. I'm running those right at 1260 fps.
Hell, the WFN at 1000 fps will shoot through anything that lives around me. That was a thought with the standard grips (I'm shooting up ammo that was loaded for 7.5" pistols) but with the extended grips, I'll just load em back up with the old recipe.
