ok so if I have a option of a super blackhawk 44 mag with a 7.5" barrel, used but in good condition for $450 and then the ruger blackhawk with a 5.5" barrel, new for $490, which would be the better buy? I plan to hunt deer and maybe hog, I plan to start with iron sight (so 50-75 yards max depending on how I shoot it) for now, maybe put a scope on it later, maybe. I?m ready to pull the trigger on a gun today or tomorrow and I am having problems making up my mind and weighing pros and cons. I have a old Lee reloader in the basement, I have never used it, it was my dad?s and is all set up for 38?s. I plan to dust it off and try to figure out this reloading stuff. I may or may not have to buy factory ammo for this season but defiantly should be rolling my own for next season. So what?s your thoughts?

I know I have been bombarding you guys with a bunch of slick sleeve type questions and really appreciate all the help!!!!!
