Well I caved, bought my first wheel gun

Once you start reloading, you will realize how versatile the 44 mag is. Light cast bullet loads for plinking/target, mid range loads for plinking/hunting, and heavy bullet loads for hunting and the cool factor.

And then there is the 44 Special brass for it.. Lots of things can be done with those big hunks of lead when you can vary the speed of delivery that much.

I've been studying load data for it and came up with a load for a 330gr hard cast that should push it 1400+ fps. Its versatile just like the 10mm!

Love this! Never thought I'd want a big hulking wheel gun, but I think I want one of these! Very cool!

Very nice find! My first 'wheel gun cave' was a Ruger Single Six .22 in SS.

"First wheel gun", was your intention to start at the top and work your way down? In all seriousness, that is a beautiful gun. Only problem is, smaller calibers just never seem to measure up anymore.

Now you've done it. The illness will set in. And your play money will go bye bye.. Enjoy it !!!

One word. OUCH..remember to let it rise. Don't stiff arm it or you'll regret it.

This is too true! My first wheel gun was my 29-2, 6" nickle .44, and nothing else has done it for me but .454 Casull!
Here's my little lady!

Nothin quite as badass as Harry Callihan's 29!

Pretty much! That's what I tend to do with everything.

I absolutely love wheel guns so to see another person buy into them is always nice. Smith and Wesson is a good choice and I think you made a good buy. Plus the 44 mag is very versatile.

Im always on a hunt for a good wheel gun, I have a couple smiths, but wouldn't mind finding me an old colt soon.
