I tried some new loads/bullets in my 4" RedHawk yesterday. 250 grain Nosler HP under 26 grs. of H110. PACT said an average of 1144 FPS. Cases come out easy, no bulging, primers look fine. 300 grain Sierra bullets with 23.5 grs. of H110, PACT said 1092 FPS average. Again cases and primers look fine. Here is a video of the recoil. Had to use Iphone recorder, Canon camera finally died.
