.38/.357 or .44 in revolver/lever action.

Discuss.

[bandook]

.44 what?

[E Michael]

44,i have shot both i think even the 44 special would beat 357 mag.

[deckhandmike]

Um, .44 is biggest. How much money you got?

Discuss what?

[Rosereader]

Please, .45 Colt.

Considering you can shoot .38 all day without taking out a second morgage, the answer is pretty easy. Unless you reload I guess, then its a little different.

Yes to all of them 38, 357, & 44. Yes to lever and revolver. Any other questions.

Used to have 44 lever. Presently have Marlin 1894c 357 lever and 357 Ruger Blackhawk. Both shoot 38s great. I can reload 38s for 8 cents a round.

The 357 Lever is much more fun than the 44 mag was. Cheaper to shoot, too.

My next lever will be a 45LC.

I say .357

Carbine ballistics from .357 are quite impressive. With a proper bullet it makes a great short range deer loading.

I have a .45 colt m-92 Rossi that is great fun, easy to stash in a kayak, and accurate. Past a hundred yards, the looping trajectory is a problem- I realize .357 May have been a better choice.

My vote is for .357, the ballistics out of an 18" barrel are pretty impressive and you can plink all day with .38s.

Nothing is better then a .44mag , especially if you reload and can cast your own.

Its not even a competition if you look into it. The level of loads you can work out on a .44 is far superior. ..and duh. .its almost a 1/2 ". It will take mans head clean off....do you feel lucky punk?


Only reason to go with .38/.357 is id you dont reload. ..which if you are asking which is better i am betting you dont reload.

Better go with that mouse round .38/.357

YUP!

im currently in the market for a lever to match my fiances newest 45LC a high polished stainless steel with ivory grips Original ruger vaquero (not new)

If your plinking 38/357. Cheap to shoot, easier to get ammo. If your hunting, 44 hands down.

38/357 awesome out of a revolver

44 mag awesome out of a lever gun.

Wonder if anyone is going to make an AR that shoots 44mag? That would be a ton of fun.
