Ruger SuperRedhawk with Leupold 2X. Load is a Beartooth Bullet 300 grain LMN DCG and VV N110, and runs 1330 or so fps using the back groove to seat the bullet out. This pistol/load combo is accurate, so I stocked up on components.

Actually, pistols were always called an automatic back in the day because the pistols automatically loaded themselves after each shot from a magazine. It�s only today that terms are confusing because of poor education and a lack of firearm ability. Don't vote knothead, it only encourages them.
