New Member from Indiana

Post by Jndturner » Sun Nov 01, 2020 5:36 am

I am happy to be able to join the forum. I was able to find a BBS .357 yesterday and jumped on it as it was still under MSRP. I’ve been wanting one of these for quite a while. Over the last several year I’ve seen myself transitioning from bottom feeders to revolvers and with this purchase going from the AR platform to lever guns. They just hold more interest for me. I’m into target shooting primarily

Welcome to the forum. There is helpful information on revolvers and levers to be found here. Please feel free to post often, and provide pictures, we like pictures.

I will be reloading as much as possible. The pandemic caught off guard after moving into a new home and I ran out of primers fairly quickly. I haven’t seen any in months.

understood on primers .... they are scarce indeed .... if you plan to load jacketed bullets, several of us have found Rose Distribution ====> http://www.rozedist.com/mm5/merchant.mv ... de=ZBJ-38S .... they make excellent range bullets

Thank you everyone. I’ve been on the Indiana Gun Owners Forum for several years but don’t post that often. I think I have as many posts on here today as I do there for most of the year.
