Does anyone in the GTA carry 454 casul, 480 ruger or 50S&W (I hope I got those right:) )? I've been looking at ruger blackhawks and S&W revolvers and was wondering if the ammo is readily available for them?
 
you can shoot 45 colt in 454 casull- just doesn't bounce as much the other 2 might be kind of scarce
 
600 nitro express brass is horrendously expensive. Midway is asking $88.99 per 10 with a 60 plus day wait for A-Square brass. $213.99 per 20 for Bertram. Shooters Choice in Waterloo is listing it at $294.95 plus taxes per 20. They are listing Ruger Super Redhawks in .480 and .454 Casull, so they may have ammo too, but it won't be cheap.

There's not enough demand for many shops to carry it in stock. Likely be a special order only thing.
 
yeah price is an issue with such ammo...I have seen SW500 from $60-$80 per box of 20.

Expensive and hard to find. I got TWO boxes with my S&W 500 revolver when I purchased it and I put a few boxes on order while I was there. After about four weeks I finally received everything I had ordered and needed to re-load so I caneled the order. The guy said no problem as they were no where to be found he wasn't sure when he could get some.
 
If you are new to the sport or looking for your first handgun, get one you can afford to feed, hold onto and learn the basics. Move to the big boys when you are proficient, unless you are independantly wealthy..
Good luck

I agree, I plinked with my Buckmark .22 for a looong while before I got bigger ones and I still shoot way more .22 than the rest of them. It's cheap cheap cheap ammon and lots of fun. You can get a .22 semi-auto and a revolver in .22 and have many many hours of inexpensive fun. Then when your ready to move up in caliber, think about reloading. Yes it's expensive at first but if your going to do a lot of shooting and grow your collection of center fire firearms, overtime reloading will pay off.

I was planning on a 22 for practice and a big guy for fun! I'm swinging towards a 45-70 'cause I could use ammo in a marlin lever action also. There's something about big booms that makes me giddy:D
