.270 Report post Posted August 19, 2011 i meant to post this when i did it. went to new mex and shot a "texas dall" with my .44mag few weeks ago. knew i was gonna be out o' commission for awhile and wanted to shoot something. in fact i bought the one i used from a guy on here. i tried a buncha ammo and ended up using hornady leverevolution 235 grain. they kick pretty hard and are designed for a rifle, but shot fine in this model 629. i ordered some bullets and plan on reloading a bunch and shoot them exclusively. so if you're gonna take a pistol on a hunt, you might give em a good look. i think they make em in .357 too. shot that little ram at 75 yards and he went down pretty quick. anyway, thought i would add a little field report.

sjvcon Report post Posted August 20, 2011 I wondered how those would work in a pistol. Sounds like they work just fine. I'd figure if the 629 can hold up to them, a Redhawk should too right??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azslim Report post Posted August 20, 2011 Was just reading in either G&A or Shooting Times that Hornady teamed up with Hogdon and are producing the powder used for factory Leverevolution loads, should be easy to come up with loads that match the factory using it.

youngbuck Report post Posted August 20, 2011 I looked into loading some of the 140gr FTX for my old man's m94 trapper in 357. I think he's shooting a 158gr flat nose now. They did a wonder on a javelina and made a heck of a smack when it hit. I still may get some flex tips. Good to know they worked well for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COUESAZ Report post Posted September 13, 2011 I shoot them out of my lever action 357. I will try them in my s&w 357 revolver soon I hope. They are my lion hunting combo. So I was hoping they shot good out of a hand gun also. I know out of the rifle they will do the put down right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
