I thinking about a straight wall case for a singleshot. This is going to be a short range 50-100yd gun. Just something to take to the range.
Barrel will probably be 30". Bullets will be cast Powder Coated.
327 is intresting choice. Economy would be good and it would not eat into my lead stash as much. Case capacity is a concern when looking at slower than normal powders. Thinking about 120ish gr bullets
357 Max is a safe choice. It has the capacity for slower powders but uses almost as much lead as a 38/55.
I'm looking to fulfill a niche. I will do a custom reamer for either one. It's not a lot of money compared to the total cost of the gun. I want to have the throat fit my mold of choice perfectly.
I'm concerned about the long barrel giving large ES velocity. I feel like a powder coated (lube groove) bullet would handle the longer barrel. The reduced bearing surface should help. These are just thoughts I have no proof to back this up.
Any thoughts?
