Lately I've been thinking about picking up a .357 Single action and lever gun to use for either .357 or .38 all day plinking. My current .45 Colt loads are 9 grains of Unique under a 270-SAA or 8 grains of Universal under a NOE 255-RNFP. They aren't bad out of my old Vaquero and Marlin 1894 but they aren't light loads. I mean they are light for me, i'm a big 6' 4" 275 lb guy, but everyone else that shoots them says heavy .
I'm up for trying some light 45 Colt loads. For all day plinking in both fatigue and economy / quantity of ammo to make up seems like a .38 / .357 with a 155-185 grain RNFP is the way to go. Less lead, Less powder, more fun?
Thoughts?
