I got a new ruger redhawk 4" last year and just starting shooting it a few weeks ago. One thing I noticed is with the loads I'm shooting it isn't very accurate. 21 gr 296 behind a hornady 210 xtp. I tried another load with 20 grains but had the same results.
What do you guys suggest I try? I don't have any other bullets to try or a different pistol powder.
I'd suggest shooting it more and getting acclimated to it with a powder that isnt so noxious.
Why would you say W296 is so noxious? Since he's hunting outdoors then the fumes shouldn't be any issue, especially when it's just an occasional shot, anyway.
H-110 (same powder as W296) is a great powder for the .41 and other magnums. I run 19.1gr behind a LSWC which works well for a hunting load. At least on the deer it killed this season.
