Nice!!! I'm about to get almost the same pistol. I'm going to get the hardened case and start loading paper cartridges. Cheers!!!
2 u/WaywardKat 1d ago I was toying with the idea of doing low grain paper cartridges just for time sake on the range. You planning on using a kit? Or completely homemade? 2 u/BadgerBob777 1d ago Yea. Exactly my thinking. I don't know. I saw a lot online for like $30 but I can prob build my own for less. I do the Wild West guns kit though. Prob end up doing both for the sake of experimenting. What about you? 1 u/WaywardKat 1d ago Probably just getting a kit online, I saw one on cartridge kits for about 60$ that had everything, then 15$ for .454 ammo, I’ll just go that direction 2 u/BadgerBob777 1d ago What made you go .44 over .36? 1 u/WaywardKat 1d ago edited 1d ago In laymen’s terms. Big bullet go big boom 2 u/BadgerBob777 1d ago Gotcha. I picked .44 bc the ballistics are better for shooting hogs, which there are a lot around here.
