January 14th 2023 44Magnum Longguns.
Went to the range with my Longguns 44magnum, My Ruger Super Black Hawk 10.5" and my Henry Big Boy Allweather. Winter and cold but it was a good day with a friend of mine, brought some Cookies, beef Jerky, coffee and warm choko. All shooting is made offhand at 25meter at a bullseye target.
Shot with my Henry homecast NOE 265gr RNFP@1500fps
Shot with handloads 240gr Fiocchi SJP in my Ruger SBH probably around 15-1600fps poi little low because sights are set at smaller targets but pleased with the grouping. Its a 5shot group some stickers (whats its called in English?) Fell off.
Was a little cold without gloves so it wasnt so much shooting mostly talking and drinking coffee

Great shooting with both guns. Love that long barreled Ruger.

Thanks, I use Vithavouri N110. The 10,5" gives a pretty good boost to the speed, havent chronoed the speed with this jacketed load but with a castbullet 240gr it passed 1700fps in the Ruger with N110 however it shot very well. Really need to buy me a Chronograph I just borrowed one on occations, so I can use it whenever I want to. Would really want a labradar but they are so expensive.

Thanks, I really like the Ruger but I like it more with original grip, but with that square triggerguard it beats my fingers so I cant use it. It really hurts!
