I would suggest getting whatever style gun you like that fits you and is comfortable to shoot and carry and find a load that works with it. You will be happier that way. Good luck.
Dmurphy317,
That is what I also recommend buy the gun first that you want to use that is legal in colorado. Then he sould work on bullets, loads, primers and testing them at 25 forwindageand 50 yards, then go to 100 once you find a bullet that groups at 50. If a bullet will not group after 6 shot discard it, keep a journal of each shot and buy loose powder. Try the NE, bull Stops, PowerBelt 348 and Harvester Saber Tooth 350, starting at 80 grains, which ever one does the best groups at 50 yards then shoot that at 100, realize that open sights is going to spread your groups out by3 or 4inches.
