well i just picked up my revolver friday from the gunshow (keiths) for 550$
i got a ruger gp100 357mag with a 4" barrel, was wanting a 44mag but all those new
were about 150$ more and that was about 150$ out of my price range.
i got it for a sidearm for hunting incase i notice any predators trying to sneak up on me, and for a fishing and backpacking weapon for the same scenario.
where i am (oregon) the biggest thing i will run into is a cougar or a black bear, which is highly unlikely because i have only seen one bear here in my 33 years but there is always that chance.
i am wondering what everyone uses in this case
for now i will probably get some factory loads but i also have the option to reload.
i dont plan to start reloading for it until after this next hunting season, but a little info on both would be great.
what factory loads do you use?
what powder, bullets and primers do you use for reloading?
i am not recoil sensitive.....
