I would really like to have a revolver that shoots a large caliber, with low pressures (relatively speaking). The 2 calibers that seem to fit the bill are .45 ACP and .45 LC. I plan to start hand loading and want to be able to get maximum life out of my brass -- this is why I would prefer low pressures as opposed to .44 Special and/or .44 Magnum. I know about the S&W M25 in .45 ACP that makes use of moon clips. However, they seem to be pretty rare and expensive. I'm concerned about .45 LC with the loose tolerances on bore/chamber diameter.
I'm not interested in SA revolvers like the Blackhawk. Anybody else a fan of big, slow, low pressure calibers in DA revolvers? Also, I say revolver because I don't like the idea of chasing my brass (am planning to start hand loading). Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
Additionally -- a bonus would be finding a lever action rifle/carbine to pair it with to maximize my plans with hand loading with a common caliber.
