I had a 9 1/2" Ruger Super Redhawk many years ago in .44 Mag when shooting silhouette, I was unaware of other calibers.Ruger Super Redhawks in standard version are available in .44 mag, .454Cassull, 10 mm semiauto, and .480 Ruger. The .44mags of course also shoot .44 sp. And the .454 Cassull also shoots .45 Colt and .45 Colt +P. The latter is equivalent to the .44mag, giving a cartridge much easier to control than the .454 Cassull but with a fatter bullet than the .44mag.
A great virtue of these guns is the system for mounting a scope. The guns come with Ruger rings that allow mounting scope using the grooves in the receiver. This means you can mount the scope on the receiver or remove the scope without altering the back sights.
The Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan, which is the same gun but in a snubby version, comes in .44mag, .454 Cassull, and .480 Ruger:
I had great success using cast 289 gr GC bullets.
