Caliber change for CAS

edited November 2008 in Black Powder and Cowboy Action Shooting
a group of us set up our own CAS range out behind the house.
I've been using a 32mag/32-20 Vaquero and a 357/38/9mm Blackhawk and a Rossi 1892 in 45. (I share a shotgun with another guy).
I want to shoot the same caliber revolver and rifle.
I'm leaning towards an 1892 in 32(sell the 45) but ammo isnt cheap.
thought about getting a revolver in 45 but i'd hate to sell one of my rugers.
what's the most practical solution?
thanks
tom

    The most practical solution from the standpoint of CAS would be to ditch the .32-20 and .45 carbine and go all .38.

    will a 357 rossi shoot 38?

    Practical????? The most practical solution is to buy another 32 Mag/32-20 Vaquero, a 32-20 and '32 Mag Lever Gun of your choice, a pair of NMV in .45 Colt; another Blackhawk convertible and a '38 cal lever gun of your choice. That way you'll have 4 different calibers you can shoot as the mood strikes.

    yes they make .357/.38 lever action rifles.

    my wife and i both use marlins, but puma, winchester and cimerron also makes them in .357/.38. also in .45 LC.

    you next choice should be to either buy reloads or learn to relaod yourself.. especially if 2 of you shoot the same caliber.

    to buy a press and all it's components isn't cheaper.. but you'll cut you cost in half. if costs me about .10 a round to shoot now.
