[1SG Yoak]

45 Colt in one NMV and one OMV in 7 1/2" 

[Silver Creek Slim]

I don't know how I missed this.

.45 Colt, BP of course.

 I shoot a brace of .45 Colt OMV's in smokeless. 5 1/2 inch barrels, blued with color cased frames. Got a .44 manglem OMV in the 7 1/2 in flavor, also blued/colorcased, but she doesn't get much action.

I just found this thread.  I have three revolvers all in 45 Colt of course.    a Cimmaron Pistolero, a Uberti 1875 Remington and a New Vaquero Bisley.  The Bisley's partner is at my local FFL waiting for me to come in and start the paperwork.  I will have to wait until April 30th as I bought a handgun March 30th and in this crazy state of California you have to wait 30 days between handgun purchases.  It doesn't matter to them that I already own enough handguns to outfit a small town police force.

45 colt

[Danny Bear Claw]

Mostly 45 Colt. 
Sometimes 44-40.   

[cpt dan blodgett]

44 spec was not a choice, but the vaquero is 44 mag

[Mustang Gregg]

Cpt B:
Well, we do too.    
All of them are "OM" Bisleys, Super Blackhawks, Vaq's are really .44 Mag revolvers shooting .44 shorts for SASS-use.
SASSy Shawna shoots them "new" (small) Vaqueros that ARE actually chambered in .44 S&W.
They got them "girly" pink grip panels too.

My NV's are 45 colt, as is my rifle, and I bought them specifically to shoot CAS. So far, they have never had a smokeless round thru them except possibly for the factory proof rounds.

Update on what I shoot.  I have a nice pair of NMV Bisleys in 45 Colt of course.

[Miss Cubbie]

Mine are NMV SS Bisleys in 45 with the Ruger emblem on the grips.

The NMV Bisleys are very nice guns.  I have a pair in Stainless Steel, also 45 colt, that are my main match revolvers.

[litl rooster]

it will always start with 4, only because none start with 5 in SASS

[Sturm Rooster]

44 specials 
I have 3 sets of Rugers in 44 specials .
And two sets of 44 mag but I dont use the Mags for CAS.

[Abominable Bill]

.45LC Bisley Vaqueros
.45LC Uberti Russians
.454 RNFP bullets out of my ROAs

[Pay Dirt Norvelle]

I forgot to say that I also shoot 45LC out of my lever action so I only have one type of ammunition to buy.  Don't reload yet, but I am saving up my brass. 

[Mustang Gregg]

Pay Dirt:

Yup.  It's a great idea to shoot the same caliber out of all of your CAS firearms.  It makes a busy day at the range go smoother.
 
A hint is to find which cast bullet shape that feeds and shoots the best in your rifle.  And then try it in your Rugers.  No doubt, it will work fine in them!!!  Most Pards like a RNFP. 

Good luck on your hunt for reloading gear.  There are many excellent tools out there.

I started out with a pair of blued Original model Vaqueros in .44 magnum with 7-1/2" barrels (I was shooting .44 specials out of them). Then I switched to a pair of stainless NV's with 7-1/2" barrels in .45 Colt......My lovely bride has joined the club and she thought my NV's were "Pretty", so she took them for herself!

Now I shoot an Original model stainless Bisley Vaquero in .45 Colt with a 5-1/2" barrel and a stainless Uberti 1873 in .45 Colt with a 5-1/2" barrel.....

[Sturm Rooster]

I have three sets of Ruger 44 specials .
My main match guns are 44 specials in 3 5/8 sheriff models  .
