Handloader advice
Since you mention that you are a handloader, I am assuming that you plan to develop loads that deliver performance in terms of accuracy and power.
So, besides being strong, you will want something accurate with good sights and a target grade trigger.
Just my personal opinion, but that tips the scale towards one of the high end single actions. A Freedom Arms 83 with the optional action job would do you well. Even better, get one with the Silhouette sights.
These rule the IHMSA matches where guys are using high power loads delivering long range accuracy out to the 200 meter rams.
And, they are shooting thousands of rounds per season.
It's not something that you're gonna see in the gun press, but dedicated IHMSA competitors would wear out even guns like the Dan Wesson after one or two seasons.
