Semi-auto or "wheelgun" for casual shooting?

[BILLY D.]

depends on which firearm case gets opened first. could be 1911's in 9mm, 38 super, a22marvel conversion on a 1911 frame or one of a few 45acps.

for wheel guns dan wesson 357mag, model 27 s@w 357 mag, ruger security six, one each in snubie, 6" barrel stainless and one in blue, 357 mags, two ruger b/h 45lc, one old model b/h 41 mag and an old model single six.

then we can get into the contenders, 22>44 mag. the best in my opinion, 357 rem max and 260 remington. i have one i invented called a 7mm bench rest lenghtened demensionally. or brld. it uses a shortened 243, 260, or 308 case. i reamed out a 7tcu barrrel to make it. just cleaned it out with the reamer. shoots like a house on fire. i shot a lot of ihmsa rounds with that barrel. the brld is about half way between the 7br rem and 7mm-08. nice cartridge.

my xp-100 in 221fb is a winner also. to get all this stuff to the range at one time i have to put overload springs on the truck.
