Take it from those of us who know...
.30 Carbine in a revolver is not for the mainstream, Joe Lunchbox, Ruger target audience.

.30 Carbine in a revolver is for a hobbyist. Though I enjoy mine, it's a bit of a PITA.

The .327 Federal, however, is shockingly close ballisitically to .30 Carbine. It's pretty much .30 Carbine without the troublesome taper, with a bullet that is four-thousandths larger, and a rim on the case... which is precisely what you want in a revolver.

Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.
