 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!
