Hello I'm Brian.  I am not an Handi holic but I'm working on it.
Looking at the Gaps.
22 Hornet for medium game under 150 yards. (Javilina, Coyote, Raccoon.. anything in that 30-50 pound range)

45-70?  If you are looking for a big boomer.

44 Mag is always a winner, same with 30-30.  But the 357 Max is similar in Horse Power to 44 mag.  and anything the 30-30 can do your 30-06 can do better.

22 Long Rifle for small game and plinking.

Brian, I've got .22LRs, .22-250, .45-70, and a .30-30 Marlin levergun.  The .44 mag, the .44 -.45 colts, the Whelen, the 7.62X39,  possibly a 7.62X54R have my attention down the line.  It's kinda like what comes up next.  It is absolutely terrible and I need a good doctor and a cure.

Ya Pete ,

 You need one of those 44s brother ..... With out a doubt .... My missus loves her 357 lever , but very few pistol calibered carbines speak with the authority of the 44 mag and these new barrels are dandy shooters with both lead and copper coated candy.

 Oh and FYI they dont make a pill for whats wrong with us handi-holics

Default,  What.....No Pill....Oh My.....what do we do now.....I guess buy more.  Seriously, I think the .44 Mag is going to be the next one.  I'm setting up to reload straight walled calibers, and the .44 will fit right in.

May as well  go to the 445 super mag and still be able to shoot 44 mag and 44 special in just the one rifle. That way you can start with what you going to end up with lol.

How about a finicky 243 SL to tinker with?
Me?  I want a 357, and then a TDC or Topper Trap.

Or go the other route.....gunbroker has a "Bay State" that looks in good condition.

Get yourself the .357.  I've had three now, and they all shoot one hole groups.  Perhaps the finest Handi made.  As far as the .243, I quit 6mm a few years back because it wasn't killing deer the way I want, with the same placement as my .308.  Don't get me wrong, it kills them, but most of them run.  I'm old, and really like deer to drop where they stand.....no chasing required.  The .45-70 is premium for that.  It knocks them off their feet and they don't get up.

pete,pete, pete, you have a bad case and I know just the Dr.
He specializes in this malady,his cost sre reasonable.Usually about $350.00 for his work.
Seems to me his waiting list for the begining of the cure is @ 6 to 9 weeks.

                                                    Look him up   wayne york
                                                    Dr of Weapon Magic   DWM

I would reccomend a 6.5x55 Swede, a totally underrated caliber.   ::)    Doug



ps.  I have a 223 barrel if you need it for the conversion ::)

+1 on Doug's suggestion, I think you're overdue for a custom chambering Pete!!  I just got my 35 Whelen Improved back from Wayne, just a 1 month turn around for a rechamber.  ;)

Well I will more then happily join the custom barrel group for the right caliber , But Tim shot me outta the water with a reality check , Wayne doesnt chamber the 9.3x74R ...... YET!!! heh

 Now you want to talk about anchoring deer ??? Muuuuwaahahahaha That'll do 9.3x74R ohhh yeah that'll do...


 Tim's new Whelen Imp should be quite the deer stomper too ... Still waiting on that range report Tim ;)
 Thou i doubt that that range report will help ol'Pete out of his handi-itis ailment ::)

If you already have a 45-70, then a .44 mag seems kinda like a waste.  I'd go with a 20 gauge rifled barrel ;D

Pete,

From a fellow Michigander, just buy something quick....... Rehabilitation ain't what it's cracked up to be basically because it's nonexistent. The pain of trying to stop is fruitless, unbearable, and Un American Michiganderly.
