I looked in one manual and it only lists a .308 dia 100gr plinker
bullet (which is a little undersize) and a .314 dia 98gr hollow base
wadcutter as the only 2 loads. Maybe Ed will come through with an
answer to my question and give us some insight as to what's available.
From looking at the loads, I believe I would just get a Ruger in .30
caliber carbine to get more options with light or heavy loads. What
would be even better would be for Ruger to come out with a Blackhawk
in 32-20 caliber and then you could load up or down with a little more
variety of bullets and different powders. It would be kinda nice to
have a small caliber woods carry or camp pistol that could be reloaded
somewhat cheaper than buying those costly .22 caliber magnums!
