My son Had /Had a 7.5 Redhawk --very accurate but too much gun for us -- so it was turned into a Marlin guidegun :) I do still handgun hunt most of the time - took two deer this past year and finished off another wounded one. the revolvers were a .41 mag 5.5 Redhawk and a .41 GNR -which is a 44 mag necked down to a .41 -- the normal .41 uses a lbt bullet of 238 gr @ 1350 and the GNr is either a 170 @ 1660 or a 210 at 1490+-- still have some stuff for the 454 if you are interested- anyway keep on with the handgun hunting -- it is fun -- I sold my 45 colt to a friend and he took a spike with it -- I am .41 all the way
