Go to the SASS website-www.sassnet.com. On that page you will find a sass rule book. I believe it states the minimum caliber is .31-but don't take my word for it. The reason I use one caliber is my own preference. I use 45lc for both my pistols and rifle, with a 12 gage pump '97. There are shooter that use 357 in pistols and 38 in rifle, but as far as a sass rule it only has the minimum you can use. I believe the first EOT(National shoot) was won by a man shooting an 1873 chambered in .30 carbine, but I believe that rule has been changed. I have an EMF/JAEGER 1873 dakota, 7.5" bbl, calvary model chambered in .30 carbine. It always draws a crowd. It's a hoot to shoot. It's a little milder than my .45LC with 300 granners in it. Love the sound of lead on steel. I also bought 2 S&W Mountain Guns in .45lc and love them, too!
