The heavyweight Garrett loads (365- and 405-grain bullets) fill the space in the Redhawk’s long cylinder and make you appreciate the revolver’s mass when you pull the trigger. These loads are designed for large, dangerous game animals or any situation where deep penetration is required.
Since Garrett Cartridges of Texas now offers three different loads of Colt ammunition and is known for heavy, hardcast, deep-penetrating bullets, I decided to take one of their loads pig hunting. Unfortunately as I’ve aged, I’m not the stud I used to be, and my tolerance for recoil has dramatically diminished. Using the Redhawk as delivered with the small, concealable wood grips, I couldn’t handle the recoil generated by the heavier bullets, so I settled on the 265-grain load for my pig hunt. In fact, most of my big-bore shooting and hunting is now done with slightly heavy-for-caliber hardcast bullets with a muzzle velocity of somewhere around 1,000 fps. With bigger, softer grips on the Redhawk, I might be able to manage Garrett’s 365- and 400-grain Colt loads, but keep in mind the new Ruger is a dual-purpose revolver, and the smaller grip frame makes it easier to manage and conceal in a defensive situation where ACP ammo will most likely be used. Velocities of the Garrett ammunition and some other heavy Colt loads are shown in the table at left.
