I haven't taken the time to look and see if a post has been done on this before but I'd like to see some picture of your favorite HUNTING HANDGUNS...

This is a pisture of my Ruger Super Redhawk in 454 Casull. Fired from a bench, this gun will easily keep 6-shots inside a 3" circle at 100 yards and inside a 7" circle at 200 yards....

This is a Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 magnum with a group that was fired at 100 yards...

Bushmaster told me to post this picture of his handgun and I'm thinking its supposed to go into this thread.

Dimitri,

is that a 357 magnum? What make and model is it?

I'm finishing up a 475 Linebaugh on a Ruger Bisley frame and I'll post a picture of it as soon as I get it completed....

Thank you Big D...Yes that is a Second Generation .357 magnum Colt SAA. I've had it sense 1966 purchased new. I have used it for my FAVORITE hunting handgun for all those years. I load it with Hornady 140 grain XTPs over 18.5 grains of W-296 and a WSPM primer. It will knock a steel pig down at 100 yards from the bench. I have never shot a deer over 20 to 25 yards with this Colt...I'm a stalker not a sniper...

Bushmaster,

thank you for also posting your load with the guns information...

No thanks to mr. arthur itis, I'm probably gonna be forced to drop back to a 357 magnum this year if I still continue to handgun hunt and would like to know what kind of performance you are getting with those 140 gr. XTP's and where do you like to place your shots with them? Have you ever tried the Remington 140 gr. bulk bullets they offer in a JHP?...

My shot placement is a lung/heart shot. I can usually make it to the heart if I don't glance off a rib. Although I have busted a rib and still made it to the heart.

Remington SJHP in 140 grain is what I practice with, but with a bit reduced load of 14 grains of 2400 and a CCI 550 primer.

The 18.5 grains of W-296 is a bit heavy for the old Colt so I don't feed it a steady diet of them...
