MY 5.5" 45 Colt Redhawk will be effective as far as I can see.............(I don't see so good no more)

See, ya take yer 335g bullet, jam it on toppa bunches of W296, crimp the snot outta it, put on muffs over earplugs, xclose yer eyes and yank the trigger. That bullet should fly about 60 miles before it loses its kinetic crushforce. Well, maybe 400 yds, but you get my point?

Remeber reading of 255g lead launched fairly sedately punching holes through log cabin wall at 700 yds...........
