Just purchased a used 454 8 rds through it, Ruger Super Redhawk. Any perferred bullet weights for the caliber and or load data from the MSGO?

Congrats, I want one of those one day. They're supposed to be super accurate. Here's a review of the gun, with some handload data and factory loads tested, summed up in a chart toward the bottom, with group size and velocity. Seems like a tack-driving freight train.

i had a freedom Arms chambers for it. I still have some reloading data. I also have a bunch of brass and some dies if your interested. I will try and check my load books for what worked best.
Its a bad ass round. Killed a doe with mine at 75 yards, planted her like a tree.

I shoot 300 grain JSP's with 27 grains of 2400. But I wouldn't start there.
