As any one knows that reads my posts or my sig I own a fair ammount of fire arms but all are in one of 4 calibers. 22LR, 357 magnum, 45-70 Govt, 12ga.
I am looking to add a 5th round.
What I am looking for is a longer range rifle round. It needs to be able to out do my 45-70 for range (so more than 250-300 yards) and still be able to kill a deer/badguy for a reasonably skilled shooter. It needs to be pretty common and easily to stock up on (I don't want to stock another hard to find caliber like the 45-70). I have believed in stocking up on ammo for a long time.
Most importantly! There needs to be a wide verity of types of guns chambered in it. Ideally Id like to find both Rifles and handgun but that is the ideal and my not be practical. I guess that is why I love the 357 magnum.
I love the 357 magnum because it it available in Rifles (both levers and bolts) it is in Revolvers both large and pocket sized, It is available in semi autos, it is available in Derringers. While I can not expect the same from a high powder rifle round I would like to to be available in many kinds of actions (yes I will likely buy several rifles (and handguns?) in that round.
