Are these two cartridges 5 or 6 round cylinders on a Super RedHawk. Can the original cylinder be reamed out, or is a new one needed? I have one of the 41 magnum SUPER REDHAWKS that was made a while back. It shoots great but I normally choose something that caries a little better. I bet that extra weight would pair well with the .410gnr.

How much of a gain to you see over the 41 magnum?

Your best bet is to have your cylinder reamed out to

410 GNR. When we ream out a cylinder in a factory gun it also gets polished and cleaned up better than new. In shooting you will gain 300 to 500 FPS according to the weight of the bullet but the main thing is you can shoot the heavy bullets and in most cases it is much more accurate. Plus reaming out the single action factory cylinder costs about half as much as having a new cylinder made. In a Redhawk if you want a new cylinder rather than reaming out the factory cylinder the cost is much higher, usually double the cost.
On a single action revolver the same applies except in the single action revolver we can build you a new 5 shot cylinder and you gain all the way around. The 5 shot cylinder is stronger, smoother and is an unfluted cylinder as opposed to the factory 6 shot fluted cylinder. Plus the new 5 shot cylinder costs about half.
