i was hoping one of you cas fella's might help shed some light on these for me.i am purchasing a ruger blackhawk in 45 colt and was thinking of getting one of these taurus rifles in the same caliber.i do not compete in any cas events ,i will only be using this as a recreational shooter,with cast bullet loads.if anyone has any experience with these i would appreciate the feedback.i already checked the other forums before posting here,pump guns had a thread but only one response with a dead link.thanks guys.
