Hello all. I’m a new member from NC. I just bought my first lever gun. It’s a color case hardened big boy in 357. I bought it to compliment my S&W 686 also in 357.
I haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet, but I am looking forward to doing so this weekend.
Now, if I could just find ammo !!
Mike

Hey Mike!
Welcome from Western North Carolina!
Mine is not the CCH model, however, I too bought my BBS 357 to pair with my favorite revolver. My S&W 6" 686.

Welcome! That seems to be the going combination: .357 revolver paired with a .357 lever action. Most times, the ammo is readily available and can work in both a self-defense (close range = revolver) or hunting (longer range = lever action) role without having to maintain a supply of ammo for both. Keep looking. You may come across a small LGS that limits purchases to a couple boxes of ammo at a time, so most will have some.
