Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan .44 or .454?
Hello to all,
I am going to pick up a Super Alaskan here soon and am conundrumed over the caliber I want. I will be taking this to Alaska in the next few years, but also want to shoot the heck out of it. I reload for both the .45 Colt and the .44 mag, but not the .454. Common cents tells me to get the .454 and then I can use the 45 Colt and the .454, but I also have a ton of .44 reloading components, so I can shoot it for cheap. I am worried that if I shoot a lot of .45 Colt the .454 cases will be hard to extract. Am I over thinking this?
My time in AK will be minimal for the overall ownership of the gun, so I am leaning towards the .44.
Any suggestions from folks who own them?
Thanks,
Matt
