    Anyone have a Ruger Super Redhawk?

    What is the length/depth of the cylinder?
    The project I'm looking at would be for 44Mag, but the 454 Casull shares the same cylinder so it must be ~1.78+.
    I've read that the non-Super Redhawks have the same cylinder, but I'm not 100% on that.

    Yes a Redhawks frame will take a Super Redhawks cylinder.

    Thanks, Adam20. I find it odd, however, as the 454 shares the same cylinder and SAAMI lists the COL as 1.765.

    Thanks, clint, for confirming.

    Very nice, sir. Having never seen one, I assumed more countersink.

    Thank you very much

    Yes, sir, understood. I very much appreciate the help.
    I'm going to get one in my safe, soon, but I like to start the planning stages early.
