I went for about ten years without a single-action of any type, then earlier this year acquired my favorite SA of all time- the Ruger SBH. I don't see the longer barrel as a drawback at all when it comes to a woods gun, and now I just need to hit the leather store so I can make something decent to carry it in.
I haven't worked up a load for it yet, but it'll be in the range of a hot .44 Special. It shoots factory 180's (Remington-UMC) just great, but it hasn't taken to any handloads that I already had for other guns.
I learned how to shoot with my dad's Ruger BH .41 Magnum, so it just seems natural to carry this.
