If you are going to order a barrel for the following parameters.
1. Fun Shooting.
2. Off hand practice to about 150 yards.
3. Reasonable accuracy.
4. Cast bullets only.
5. For an Encore.
6. Not necessarily to hunt anything with-mainly a barrel for practice shooting only.
7. Low recoil, for long range(amount of shooting) sessions.
8. Again-cast bullets only-so the cartridge mut be casting friendly.
9. Probably will mount a low power scope on the barrel.
What cartridge would you choose for the above parameters?? And why if you don't mind. What barel length?? I will be casting my own bullets. I prefer a non-GC bullet. I think I would prefer something larger than 22 caliber. I would prefer an easier to cast bullet.
Is the 45 Colt cartridge a bad idea?? Thanks, Tom.
