My dad used to hunt groundhogs with a 44 mag. That would be good medicine for them.

It would be fun for sure. But I’m thinking would it have any advantages over a .22 mag outside of the ability to roll your own ammo?

You’d be able to shoot a 40‘grain bullet at 2650 fps…… no 22 mag can ever do that…. Just sayin’

I guess you could get there in a Super Redhawk with a 9.5” barrel. Don’t know that I would be compelled to carry that beast around as opposed to a trim little rifle.

Wambli you haven’t acquired a new one for awhile, least we haven’t heard of anything. And tomorrow IS Tuesday. That is THE single day .22 is acceptable at the local range. A hornet outta of a revolver may be better accepted.

The last two I got where the two SxS shotguns wife gave me for Christmas (28ga and .410). I’ve been busy moving again and finding all sorts of stuff I’d forgotten I owned.
It’ll be a while before I’m settled and ready to even look at new guns. I have an ammo project that I have to get off the ground first.

About five pounds by the time you hang a scope on it.
You can get into .223 bolt action rifles not much heavier.
Seems like a hard case of "WHY?" to me.
Tweaking the 6" GP-100 to include Ruger's proprietary scope clamps on the barrel would have been a MUCH better way to do this - which is something they should have done for the .357 version 30 years ago - IMO.

Yeah, that. Makes FAR more sense to do in a GP 100.
But make it a 10”+ barrel.

Maybe. No disrespect to Zee and Ernie, but I've always had a hard time wrapping my brain around the attraction to crew-served handguns.
Now if you took something like the new collapsing stock CZ-600 Trail, reduced the barrel diameter for weight savings, and SBR'd it to the point where worthwhile velocity gains stop, THAT would be a Hornet I could get behind.

I don't know how I feel about this.

My Stainless Ruger Redhawk in .44 mag, 7.5" is one of my favorite revolvers.
I just never cozied up to the looks of its successor.
Maybe if it had some sort of Dan Wesson shroud?
It looks like a S&W Mountain Gun with an erection.
So I guess I'm a no.

Some people want to make shooting require more skill and be harder to achieve excellence.

Reminds me of a fellow I know who quit hunting and shooting competitions with a compound bow, and went to a recurve with turkey feather fletchings.bullsi1911 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 11:15 am Some people want to make shooting require more skill and be harder to achieve excellence.
Said compound bows "got too easy."
He killed elk and other game with his recurve, so I guess he knew his stuff.

It looks like a modern bunline to me. The one below is a Cimerron .45

I remember the .30 carbine Ruger Blackhawk
Indeed it is right up there, a truly awesome shock wave.
Keep fingers way away from cylinder gap!

I shot an Automag in .30 carbine.
I believe it is the only handgun i unloaded on the line and brought back to the bench.
