I’ve always wanted a 44mag revolver for deer hunting and now I finally bought one. I just got the Ruger Super Redhawk with the 7 ½” barrel. The problem now is that I never expected it to hurt so much!
So I desperately need some help & advice from everyone;
1) Will a combination of a PAST recoil glove and a Magna-Port help tame this beast?
2) I plan to use this to hunt deer here in Michigan while keeping my shots under forty yards. What hand loads could I consider that will be sufficient for deer hunting while keeping recoil down?
I really want to make this firearm work, but I’m not sure my hand can take the beating it dishes out, and I really need to be able to practice with it on a regular basis in order to become proficient.
So any feedback you can offer will be greatly appreciated. If I can’t keep this from hurting my hand, then look for a For Sale sign in the weeks to come.
Thanks much,
