Trying a new caliber - 454 Casull - 01/19/2021 8:07 PM
I have hunted several years with a 44 mag (Had a Super Redhawk and a Blackhawk Bisly, both 7.5" bbl) and 4 years with a 460 S&W (8-3/8" bbl) over the years, but I like to try new things and couldn't pass up a new Ruger New Model Super Backhawk with a 6-1/2" bbl in 454 Casull. I think I'm going to try and get hold of a Leupold M8-2X to put on it (I'm watching a couple on Ebay) but need ideas on a possible scope mount as I see these are no longer available jackweigand.com
Anyone have the same or similar set up? If so, what ranges are you comfortably hunting at? Also, I intend to be loading my own ammo eventually, but I did get a box of the Hornady 240gr XTP MAG and a box of Hornady 300gr XTP MAG to see which ammo it might like better and I might shoot better with. Any particular preference from someone with the same or similar set up if you've used these 2 different weights of ammo?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/replies.
