My 4 Handi barrels
« on: May 19, 2009, 05:34:07 PM »
The 44 Magnum is my favorite I guess, it can do a lot of different chores, is accurate, not too loud and cheap to shoot with cast bullets.  The 223 SL is a fine shooter, light and just good to have around as a varmint gun.  The 30-06 is also a good shooter, really flexible as to loadings and I think after trying all the barrel variations the standard 22 inch barrel seems about right to me.  The 243 youth barrel has turned out to be a good shooter but it sure is loud!  I have a bit more testing to do with it, it is nice and short.  On the varmint end it won't do anything the 223 can't and I would far rather have the 30-06 or 44 mag barrel on the frame if one of the big hogs on our lease happens by.  Actually the 243 barrel is probably best as a loaner to a recoil sensitive type with tough ears.

You know not everyone needs all the barrels (though the sickness will spread, no doubt) And the 2 I have been able to get ahold of and kept are my 223 Ultra and my 30-06 UltraComp barrels.  Many barrels have went through my hands, but these 2 have sticked.... still I haven't got my hands on the Unicorn-the 357...or a 32" 45/70 so to each his own. One of the nice things about these rifles is building what YOU want/need for your specific purposes. Just recently got my hands on a 44mag and am loving it, this ones staying it's a lot of fun.
Sounds like you have the cals you need and are happy with them. More power to you. Enjoy.

Its a funny  thing.  When I go to the range with my superlight 243, everyone moves a bench or two away!  You are correct, it is LOUD!  But its also my primary deer getter on the lease we have now.  I can reach across the corn field and tag them, or shoot them close and not mess up too much meat.
