Hey folks, does anyone have any expierience with small caliber
centerfire revolvers for varmints and such? If so what calibers and what loads? I already have a contender and several rimfires and am looking for the next challenge.

Hi Joe2,

For a revolver I'd go the 32HR mag. I had one in a T/C barrel, sold it and I" having another one made. A lot of the cowboy guys use them in the Ruger Bisley. I've watched them shoot em' and the accuracy was great. Don't forget you can shoot 32 HR Mag., 32 Long, 32 Short and 32 SW all out of the same gun. I've taken coyotes, rabbits, squirrels and the likes with this round. Several of the coyotes were at 75 yards but I would have felt comfortable out to 100 with the 10" T/C. It works great!

Define, small caliber?? I know I'm going to take some heat from this but to me small caliber is 357 caliber on down. The 357 mag is an excellent varmint choice. My 357 Max will drive a 158gr hollow point at 1700 fps, shoots flat, and it does an excellent job on woodchucks.

I have a Ruger Bisley single six in 32 H&R mag. It's got a Bushnell Phantom scope on it. I have had it to the range and the accuracy was great. The scope mount keeps loosening up, so when I get that issue resolved I'll go chuck hunting with it.
