10mm Ruger SRH ??-> 10mm Magnum Conversion?

When Ruger first introduced its line of 10mm revolvers (circa 2018), they chambered one on the SHR platform,  model #5524. That one had a 6.5? barrel, same length as my old S&W 610 that?s long since been sold.

I had thought about getting one back then, but as happens sometimes, other projects at the time led me to pass on it.

Some time later Ruger came out with the 10mm SRH model #5522, listed as a TALO edition with a 7.5? barrel. It?s currently listed as ?limited availability.?

My only interest in picking one up would be for immediate conversion of the cylinder chambers to proper 10mm Magnum specs by a competent wheelgun smith. Post-conversion, the gun would serve as a dedicated handgun hunting rig and maybe more generally a ?Magnum-level? pinker with the heavy-for-caliber hard cast stuff. I?m currently sitting on about 100 cases of NOS Starline 10mm Mag brass. I have a ton of 10mm jacketed bullets and HC boolits as well.

My questions for the group here are:

Has anyone done this conversion on their own 10mm SRH? 

If so, what smith did the conversion, and were you satisfied with his work?

What 10 Mag handloads, if any, have you developed for it?  Some specs on your loads?  (i.e., Bullets/boolits used? Preferred powder(s))

And finally, how does it shoot?

Thanks in advance for any comments and insights!
