Hi guys I am about to get a Rossi 1892 in 44 magnum and also for self defense.
Why lever action rifle for self defense you may ask. Well here in Austria it is quite tricky to get a decent semi auto rifle in 223 rem so I need to be a bit more old school.
The main purpose is fun shooting and plinking anwyway but I prefer owning a rifle that can be used for different purposes as well.
But ok back to my question. Does anybody here has experience with Rossi? Is there anything to note ammo wise when using the Rossi? Do have any problems with certain type of ammo or they work fine with everything?
The ammo choice of 44 magnum is not that waste in Austria so I am going to either use 180 grain sjhp or 240 shp from s&b, fiocchi, ppu. Under normal circumstances you would also get some 180 grain rounds from Federal but US ammo is quite are to get at the moment.
