Right now: 357 in a GP100 and Rossi 92, 9mm Shadow Systems and Sub2000

In the past, and a great combo for reloaders: 45 Colt.

Why? Just curious

I was looking for your post so I could piggyback. What he said.

I completely disagree. .357 really wakes up in a rifle. Inside of 125 yards, it is an excellent pig and deer killer. It performs much better in the field than it does on paper.




Agree. I replaced my sights with a skinner peep.

I have a Ruger Bisely 7 1/2 in .41 magnum. It came with a fluted cylinder, not the roll marked one. A Dan Wesson stainless in .41 magnum with 4 inch and 8 inch barrels and a Marlin 1894S in .41 magnum.

Freakin unicorn. You better hang on to that one.

I already have the FA, dies, brass, etc fro the 454.

And I can’t think of a situation in this hemisphere that a Casull wouldn’t be enough gun

Let me know if you decide to get rid of the Ruger

44

Ah, makes sense. I’ve already got the 460 so it’s just natural selection to stick with what I know

Appreciate everyone's comments. It's been very helpful.

How about a Beretta CX4 Storm in .40 S&W and a Beretta 96? Cheap and plentiful ammo and a little more horsepower for hunting than 9mm PCCs.

I would edit that to 100 yards which is a limited use hunting round. I cast, powder coat, and gas check my own .360 sized to .358 180 grain in magnum brass. It barely fits and cycles at 1.63X"...but it's not the first choice for hunting.

Browning 1886 -45-70
Magnum Research 45-70

BFR makes a .30-30 revolver ...

Current pair is a S&W M&P 9 2.0 with a thumb safety and a PSA AR that takes Glock mags.
As for deer hunting, I usually can't sling a dead cat without hitting one around here so not too worried.
If SHTF, I'm sure they will become more scarce though...

Well, looks like I'll have to wait until the CEO Comment section is turned back on.

This is what I get:

9mm Glock 17 and Ruger PC Carbine

S&W 686 357/Ruger Blackhawk 357 and Marlin 357

There's a Ruger .44 Carbine in the classifieds.

Ruger 77/357 and Ruger GP 100 for me.

Marlin Lever 357 and S&W Model 10 for the wife.

I’ve killed deer and coyotes with mine. My son has killed deer. My nephews have killed several deer.

All were shot from 50-125 yards with factory 125 grain ammo. Anyone that says this won’t work is just wrong. .357 mag out of a rifle is good deer medicine out to 150 yards or so. Some would say to 200, but I’d limit it to 150.

Spouse has the Rossi 454 Casull lever action and a Freedom Arms 454 revolver.
We also have a Win 44 mag and a Colt Anaconda 44 mag.
I have Henry 41 mag Big Boy Steel and a Ruger Bisley stainless 41 mag .
