Favorite Revolver Caliber? .44 mag!

If I ever buy another revolver for hunting it will be a .460 S&W. That is about the most practical choice today. You have full house .460's for big game, .454Casual for big/medium game and .45 colts for cheap fun. What more could you ask for?

Fav revolver caliber?

Hello all



RON L here = SERESURPLUS



I guess I'm old school again, as I still Like a simple 357 Magnum coupled with a 6" barrel and a good set of rubber grips! It shoots well, it hits well and Nope, not the most easy to carry, but will usually end a gunfight in short order! Plus, you can shoot less expensive 38 SPCL in it and do no harm!

 

[Acosta360]

The only one I have tried is .38. This is my fav for now.

 

[JoeLee]

The only one I need and use is 38Cal in my 38 Colt Cobra 2nd addition.

 

[teknoid]

.45 Colt - Fun on the range...

 

[DWARREN123]

.357 mag! Does what I need.

I'll be the oddball. .41 mag. Does what the .44 does with flatter trajectory and less (percieved) recoil. 170 JHC @1600 fps to 210 SWC GC at 900. The only problem is availability of components. I have been shooting the .41 for long enough that I have plenty of cases (1000) and I cast my own bullets. When I see jacketed bullets being closed out at reduced prices I buy all they have.

 

[Nozzle Rag]

First post and near to my heart. .41 always.

 

[hombreviejo]

.22LR...cheap to shoot, and very accurate. Now, I do own and love my .32s, 38s, .357s, .44s, and .45s, but the .22 is the best over-all...IMHO

.38 special is my all-time favorite revolver ammo, it can be loaded in a variety of ways and still be quite accurate. For grins, a big bore is hard to beat, though, like .44 mag & .45 Colt.
.45 acp is my favorite pistol ammo.

Favorite revolvers

I would hardly do without my 22 LR Single Six. But If I could only have one it would be a 32 H&R Mag.

Um.. it used to be 38.. lately it's 40 S&W but then I have one of those rare as Hen's teeth model 610's.

 

[robocop10mm]

Hey Nozzle rag. Nice to see I'm not alone in my love of the .41.

 

[chorst294]

Hhmmmmm.....

This is tough, as I enjoy so many. I'd have to say the .357. A close second being the .45LC.

 

[Zappa]

I'm with you Chorst, .357 then .45LC.

 

[BillM]

45 ACP, then 357. My 5" 625 with full moon clips is an absolute hoot.

 

[DirtyHarry]

.357 Hands down. Just saw the S&W M&P 340(hammerless), gives me a hardon.

A .357 magnum with qualilty factory ammo should fill just about any need, unless of course you want to shoot Alaskan bears.

For practice / plinking you can load it with .38 special ammo, and there is a wide selection of bullet designs and loadings in both .38 & .357.

I own two. A S&W model 19 (no dash) that I carried as a duty gun for many years, and a Taurus model 617, 2", 7-shooter, that I use as a carry gun when in the mood to carry a revolver.

 

[npbwbass]

old school round

The 357 magnum in a S&W model 19-3 has never let me down.

But I am adulterous when it come to revolvers .32, .38/357, 41, 44spec/mag, and 45LC. I have a love affair with all of them!
