Howdy Gents, My name is Kenneth, born and raised in Iowa but have been up in the great white north (AK) for 15yrs now. Was out in the western coastal "bush" most of it but just moved into the big city of Anchorage. Been packin smith and ruger wheel guns for about 30 yrs, but mostly for the two legged varmints I run into on the job. Favorite airplane gun and back up for my aught six is a 5.5 redhawk 44 with toasty 300 XTPs. In wintertime when ole brownie is sleepin, I mostly carry a 3 screw 357. Trying to get a line on a black bear this spring, if anyone has a favorite huntin load that shot well out of the redhwk 5.5 I'd appreciate the recipe...Looks like a good site, thanks. keb
