Why does anybody need a logical reason to own one? I have mine because I wanted it...
+1. I bought mine just after Christmas just because I like the way it feels in my hands... And I am left handed... Mounted an NECG rear peep on it to "keep it simple".
Finally took it out to sight it in this afternoon. .38 Spcl handloads with 158gr cast FRN bullets were shooting into about 1" two shot groups at 50 yards. Given that I am 55 years old and legally blind without my glasses, I figured that was pretty respectable.
Have 20 to 30 lbs of brass. Figure 2 cents for powder, 4 cents for primer, 14 cents for a cheap cast bullet, gets me 20 cents a round for hand loads. SIL has several hundred lbs of scrap lead pipe he uses for casting sinkers. Considering casting and tumble lubing which should get me down to about 6 cents per round for hand loads. Less than what I pay for premium .22LR ammo...
