I just paid an invoice to Bowen on Monday for a 5 1/2” blue Redhawk in .480.
Hope it gets here soon!

People always amaze me. They won't buy a gun because there's no brass or ammo available. Then won't buy brass because there's no guns available. Rarely are either case long lived. Guess I've just always been a "Buy and Hold" type. Without a significant recession, I don't see prices going down. I've also never seen any of the above with an expiration date... Not to mention Al the drama the internet experts encourage…

I’ve tried other but simplified my life with the 480. 750-950 W231 950-1100 HS6 1100+ H110 60% of my shooting is the 231 load with a 375gr bullet at 865fps then 39.5% the same bullet it the MIHA 385gr hollowpoint over HS6 for 1050fps and .5% of the time is the same bullets driven harder than I enjoy or see a need for… YMMV Can you provide W231 load data (or a data source), for the 375 CB (477-640?) referenced? Just happen to have a new jug on the shelf. Any additional information appreciated. Get yourself a subscription to Load Data. It’s the best $$ you’ll ever spend on reloading. You’re not depending on an individual’s experience.

I’d agreed on Turnbull CCH finish, and Fishpaw was the gold standard for custom grips they are lovely for sure. I can’t see conclusively on my phone but I don’t think that laser engraved, I think it was hand engraved. Some of it I find odd suck as leaving the factory cylinder in it and not taking the roll stamping off the cylinder before engraving it but taking the factory barrel warning off the barrel. Also why wouldn’t you upgrade the rear sight? But it still looks like a fine gun that I’d love to own. It’s amazing how many folks don’t upgrade the rear sight……

That fella has sold a TON of new Rugers on the RF over the years and is a great guy. No reason to doubt the authenticity of the grips. I’m sure if he knew more he’d have said. I was just hoping a forum member might know something more about this gun. The seller states that he believes the engraving is machine, and doesn’t know who did the CCH. Whatever the case may be, I like it. He just dropped the price…… That is Turnbull case coloring, or at least I’d bet on it and it looks like a Bowen front sight. Fishpaw worked with Bowen more than anybody else so I’d bet $$ that’s who shortened the barrel and had the coloring done….
