Low velocity small game and plinking rounds to heavier bulleted high velocity loads for deeper penetration in larger game. All can be reliably fired in a lever carbine. If your territory has thick cover, the lever .357 will work fine.<br /><br />I normally carry a high power carbine during deer season. One time, I had my Rossi Puma 20" lever gun when a doe presented an opportunity for a clean shot at 45 yards. Not a problem - only ran about 15 yards before collapsing and dying. Much less blood shot meat too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-48892119111376818702020-10-16T01:33:01.905-05:002020-10-16T01:33:01.905-05:00I have a marlin 1894 in each caliber.

I haven’t even tried beyond 100 yards because that is pretty much as far as I can see into the woods around my house. I filled both of my caribou tags with one shot with the 44 using a 265 gr flat point at about fifty yards. If I’m going somewhere that might offer a longer shot I take my 444 marlin or the 7mm Remington mag.Howard Brewihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828388973685184730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-31728604726660491082020-10-16T01:32:30.171-05:002020-10-16T01:32:30.171-05:00I have a marlin 1894 in each caliber.
