Lets start off with the top 45 . IMHO Travis Strahan just south of pilkguns in north Georgia builds the finest , most accurate and longest lasting 45 of them all. If you can save up the price this is the way to go. He will even test the gun and match ammo for it. Then he will sell you a case to help you get started. Good Shooting Bill Horton. What 22 ?

No .22 at the moment, but I have a Rock River Hardball as my wad and ball gun.



The model 41 belonged to my coach.

Welcome it's good to have you guys here.

Although I shoot mostly ISSF, a few times a year I shoot 1800 of the 2700 don't have a .45 yet, it is fun. Personally I feel shooting is about fun so I'm willing to try just about anything, I've even shot some IPSC.

As European manufacture guns become more evident in Bullseye events, the issues I hear being discussed are

1. ISSF 22 cal pistol vs a 22 top on a 45 frame.

2. 32 vs 45 for center fire

Any thoughts?

Hi

From my reading (I shoot .45 in centerfire), I think that reloading for a .32 S&W long would be a pain. If memory serves the loads for a .32 top out at under 2 grains for most powders. I don't know prices for .32 for factory ammo either. In the future, I would consider 9mm, or .38 Super for centerfire though.

Why's it a pain to load with less than 2 grains, I've been load .32 for years any where from 1.3 to about 1,8 gr depending on the powder, it's really no big deal. At $30 plus for 50 its very cost effective.
