As usual, writing shit about guns and pretending you know something. The minute I read your post, I already suspected something wrong. I had to double check and just as I thought, the Colt Python .357 Magnum you mention is Double Action. Not single action. If you own this gun, and this is your favourite shooter, you should know whether its single or double action............... and you don't seem to. LOL. Nobody practices on a smaller calibre to save money for their bigger calibre gun. That is so comical. If you need to shoot so much with your alleged Colt Python, and you can't afford the rounds, buy a fucking reloader. Cabela's will sell them. And go and check Youtube. Lots of people reload their own ammo, 5-10 cents a round is all it costs. Buying a second gun in the .22 calibre and needing to buy 2 different calibre of rounds does not save you money dumbshit. And its not the same shooting characteristics as a .357 magnum. If you are allegedly at the range so often shooting your Colt Python with the scope, there must be at least 25% to 1/3 of the large calibre shooters there using reloaders. Once they stop laughing at the scope on your Python, you can ask them to recommend u a reloader.
