  Ruger Super RedHawk-.454 Casull

I don't have one of those hoglegs.... but I do have a Redhawk. It has been my experience that when using the same bullet weight things tend to be more predictable despite differing velocities.

What are the bullet weights of those loads? Do they vary a lot? I would think that the one that is shooting lowest might also be the lightest bullet weight.

Most of the 454 loadings are so powerful that they produce a tremendous amount of torque and even a small change in the way you hold the gun can have a pronounced effect on paper.

Sometimes it will shoot differently as you tire out late in a shooting session and you grip strength gets weaker.

I would zero a given load at 50 yards and then back off the 25 and see how it prints. Make sure you are not resting the barrel on the shooting rest.... only the grips should touch the rest.

I am probably preaching at the choir here.....

Boy, do I know about the tri-focal thing!

I am considering getting a pair of glasses made with the middle prescription only for the entire lens. It is more important to see the front sight clearly than anything else.

The only way to get the 45 Colts to print any where near the others is to use the same or greater bullet weight.

You really made a quantum leap from a 357 to a 454. Try zeroing it at the maximum range you are going to shoot and then see what it will do at 25 yards.
