Do you know the velocities of those loads?

Those loads will definitely take the fight out of critters that have claws and teeth!

That’s the same pistol my brother has. Man it’s a tack driver.

1140 FPS with 320gr Cast Performance Bullet WLNGC at .430” using 1.673” heavy Lee crimp die I wish they were .432” for Ruger that would up my velocity a tad.
At 20.0 -H110 am just shy of max but a good load. Used this load only in Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag.

320 grains is a lot of mass.
