I had one serious problem with my .44 Trapper. Some Corbon ammo I bought was too long for it and jammed it up pretty bad. The OAL was longer than standard. After that they told me that all their newer .44 loads were within SAAMI specs. It was a heavy hard cast bullet. I think it was 320 grains.

Well Timothy....make a decision yet?

Haven't been back in that part of the state yet.  We're getting a pup this month, might change my plans.  If I could unload it quickly, the lovey dovey might just go for it...

Gonna think about it...  I really want a lever in .357 to compliment my wheel gun.  Probably gonna keep saving for the Rossi or Uberti.

FWIW I own a .357 Rossi lever in stainless.  I got it to compliment my .357 Rossi revolver.  I am totally thrilled with both guns.  The .357 wheel gun is possibly the most accurate shooting gun I have ever had, and the lever is just a delight to shoot, too.  When it's just for fun, I bang out .38 Specials in both of them.  Less expensive, but with all the thrill.  I just checked Bud's Guns but they are out of stock on all their Rossi levers.  Probably says something about popularity.

I was so pleased with the Rossi .357 that I wanted to use it as a carry gun.  Just a little big for that task.  So I got a Windicator .357 snubbie from EAA.  Nifty little wheel gun.  Heavily made, but that makes it more fun to shoot with less recoil.  You might want to check it out.  It's now my daily carry.   Bud's has it for less than $300 including shipping.

Thanks CR, however mail order in the People's Republic is taboo.  I'd have to check with the FFL to see if EAA is on the "list"!  My Ruger is a tank but she'll do for now.  I'm thinking waiting on the Rossi is probably my best option.

I believe it's been tried by our local GOAL!

Anyway, when I tried to join a gun retailer some years back they said they would not ship to MA, regardless.  I think it was Buds.

Timothy, I've got a bone to pick with you.  This thread gave me 94 fever.

So...I'm trying to find one made the same year I was born....

Thanks a lot buddy.   ;)

Still shopping myself.  Passed on that .30-30. 

Kinda wished I hadn’t cuz I could have made some quick profit..
