I went to Ben Avery shooting range this weekend and they had a shooting expo. Had fun with the cowboy guys, really like 45LC. Also shot a 480 Ruger SRH, but that's another story.
I recreationally shoot a 44mag, and really like the cartridge. If possible, I'd like to get into CAS without getting another reloading die and introducing another cartridge to my lineup.
Can I get into CAS with a 44mag/44special and compete in the same league as the 45LC guys? Or at least a .429 diameter bullet (44-40)?
All my wheelguns right now are DA guns... I need to get myself a good SA sixgun... but I'd prefer a Remington copy rather than a colt if possible. Anyone make a 44mag/44special/44-40 remington cartridge revolver with the firing pin mounted on the hammer rather than a transfer bar safety? Will also consider 45LC and colt copies, but Taurus/Ruger are out due to their transfer bar safeties. Pietta and Uberti still reputable for colt clones? I'd prefer to stick between 5-6 inch barrel length.
Also, keeping in the 44 caliber restriction ideally, who makes a levergun that's inexpensive but reliable? Shorter carbines win out over longer octagonal barrels with me for this purpose... Might want one of the heavy barrel for 45-70 or 54 hawkens muzzleloader later on, though. Again, a different thread.
With the shotgun, what is the most inexpensive, SxS acceptible and reliable 12-guage out there?
Also, the girlfriend tried it out with 38special and 20 guage. She liked it too, except for the shotgun. Any lighter guages available out there to compete with? Or can she get into it and avoid the shotgun somehow?
