This one scares the bejeebers out of you, even before you shoot it.
Ruger #3
I used to hate shooting the thing as a kid when my dad had it. He didnt reload, and heavy factory loads were brutal. It came my way about a year or so back, and I was going to get rid of it, due to those painful memories. I got to looking online for "light" loads, and found Trail Boss and a 300 grain hard cast bullet make a great combo, and changes the guns demeanor completely. Now its a FUN puddy cat.
Once I got to shooting the #3 a lot more, it didnt take long before a Marlin Guide Gun was on the way. Both are fun, and accurate.
I havent had any troubles getting brass or bullets for them for reloading. Trail Boss also has been readily available through the "crunch" as well.
