The xr3-red grip frame works just fine with the 41 magnum, and not too bad in 44 magnum too, if held properly. I do not shoot mine a bunch but it seems like a fat set of stags are better for me. I get a better grip on it.

…I also have all 4 barrel lengths Blackhawks, … I’m trying to do the same in stainless, lacking only the 4 5/8”. Still kicking myself for not going ahead & springing for both when I picked up the 6 1/2”er. I got both at the same time and soon wished I had gotten another 6.5 and cut it to 5.5 inch.

Thanks again to lar4570 and his generosity for posting these pics. The load shown is a 124gr HPGC that I resized to .311 and loaded it over 3.1grains of 231/HP38 and a standard CCI primer. COAL is 1.54" and it's a light load for this elderly Smith to fire. Had to seat the bullet fairly deep due to bullet ogive and the chambering of this Smith. Frank will receive his package back this week, probably Thursday. Will grab a photo of him with his "operating" family heirloom. 1915 and she's still mechanically sound. Only Superman can get all the potential out of the sights, though. A Single Seven if one were to pursue 32s with fine accuracy as a goal. IMHO Thanks again for your help and interest in this project. Tom This has given me some inspiration I have maybe the same model but is nickel plated. It was inherited from my Grand father thru my dad who passed in 2005. I have yet to fire it. I also have a Buckeye in .32 cal. I have fired very little. The .32 Mag. cylinder has been opened to .327 Mag. I need to put down that .41 and shoot something a little milder, even though loud.

Lots of good information here. I was actually asking for a friend, all thou I do have a few .44,s long and short. He has cast in the past but for.357 mag. We have no experience with the 44,s on deer. I think he likely will load jacketed bullets. Their place is near the Big Bend just east of the Pecos, I have hunted there do not recall any coyotes but they have been picking up feral hogs on their cameras, so they may have to cull some of them. Thanks again. I will pass this on to him.

I need some help deciding which bullet would be best in a Marlin .44 Magnum for whitetail deer. Thanks in advance. These would be west Texas deer.

I ran across some Speer half jackets or cups, I think the box called them cups. I was curious as to whether these were worth having. I have never seen anything about making bullets out of them. Anyone used them?

I have been seeing quite a few auction with crazy starting bids lately. Hackers maybe?

My cousin and her husband have really had a problem with the copperheads here in Comanche county this year. A niece of there,s was bitten on the ankle, only one fang penetrated. They must have a den nearby as he posted a picture on facebook of three together, he dispatched them shortly after the picture was taken.
