Problematic calibers?
« on: September 29, 2007, 05:48:47 AM »
Swampman, What caliber's are you talking about when you say "You stay away from the problematic calibers".
I don't own a Handy, Yet!  But if there are certain models/calibers that are problematic on a wide basis I'd like to say away
from them to start my Handi addiction. I'd like to start off on a positive note and gain experieance along the way.
What models/calibers are the most trouble free? I guessing the 30-30, 444, and the 45/70 has a following as trouble free from what I've read here, on and off for about a year. Thanks - gary

I stick with the rimmed versions like the ones you mentioned.

I hear/read a lot of complaints on the 7.62X39, 35 Weland, and the .223.

Of all the problem posts the .243 seems to have the most problems.  Larry
