Hello every one!
I recently decided to take up shooting again (used to shot rifles and bow when young) and figure I'll go big. So went to a local gun shop and tried out the famous .357 Magnum in three different size revolvers.
Was way fun and inspiring!
Except for the first five rounds thru a 2" barreled Ruger...
NOT a great start choice from the guy behind the counter...
Anyway.
Been thinking to maybe step it up even more to the even more famous .44 Magnum though. Will probably go and test some of them out too.
My main usage will be target, paper and other objects, and in worst case scenario, home/personal defense.
I would like some feedback on the good and bad with the two above mentioned calibers.
Is the 44 too much? (I'm not going to hunt or anything like that)
Big, if any, difference in cost of ammunition? (want to shoot it quite a bit so i can handle it well)
