How many of you have a Redhawk set up for hunting with heavy 45 colt loads? What do you like cast or jacketed?

You can't beat the hornady 250 x.t.p. ,the things a beast on whitetails!

That is a GREAT combo!!

I have worked up a couple loads up for my 4" Redhawk for bear protection and moose. Probably not needed for whitetail. 360gr Cast Performance, 21gr H110, 1155 fps from the 4" barrel. I have since started casting and have a 355gr WFN with 21.5gr H110. I'll use the same load in my SBH Hunter this year. I haven't chronied them yet. Waiting for warm weather. This is max load using Hodgdons Ruger Only load data.

The XTP is a great bullet, my 5 inch Bisley gets better accuracy
with the 300 grn XTP. Try it you may like it.
