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

.44 mag is rimmed, First pic is cylinder length only, 2nd is with bullet in cylinder. Cartridge overall length can be 1.808

Nothing has been done to gun. It is stock

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.
