Reeder Custom Guns - Taurus Raging Hunter question

shot in other revolvers too, not just the Redhawk, SRH or SBH. It includes Dan Wesson, Colt Anaconda and the Raging Bull in 44magnum....all 6 shot DA revolvers. This Raging Hunter is just as strong as the DW, Colt and Raging Bull revolvers and actually uses the same dual lock up cylinder system as the Dan Wessons, for solid lock up when shooting full house loads. If a 6 shot SBH or old Vaquero can take the strongest loads, so should this Raging Hunter. But as mentioned, be prudent and work up your loads as they get up there in power regardless of what revolver you are shooting. Even in my FA83 454 Casull I'm watching for pressure signs and that is the stoutest revolver on the planet tested to over 70K units of pressure and didn't blow. Matter of fact, I don't think they ever blew one up....maybe WB would know????

Blew the barrel and front of the frame off the gun. Bob Baker had it in his safe.

H110?

Bob will squint at you if he sees flat spots over each chamber on a M83...

the guy who owned the gun said he did not know what happened. Bob and the engineers figured it out .. a really heavy bullet and an overload of powder .. the load squibbed and the bullet stopped just past the throat. Lots of unburned powder in the bore. The next load was fired .. it not only was very high pressure but it also detonated the unburned powder that was left in the bore.

Taurus Raging Hunter question

Are you watching the clock to hit post?

Yes, they are plenty strong enough.

Josh, I'll have to vote no on this one...

I was leaning that way.

454 is a 5 shot cause it runs way more pressure than 44mags

work up and watch for pressure signs

Just be careful. On a 6-Shot Revolver, a pressure sign...

if you've done that you really don't want to again!

I haven't yet, but know it's entirely possible...

Gary made me a new cylinder and it is just as accurate

But, that would be a task on a Taurus Double Action...

The stongest RUGER ONLY loads can also be

Saw one blown in half.

That took some effort...

How? Mistaken powder, loading BE instead of

If I remember correctly

Thanks!

Not for me. The loads I have are 50K psi....

If it can be blown Bob will find out!

Wonder if cylinder length is same as SW
