I say .38/.357 but I'm cheap and can reload .38 for dirt cheap.Welcome to OT, where hypocrisy is King, outrage is Queen and the Kingdom is on the shores of the Denial River.

I have .45 Colt and .357 levers; different calibers for different uses, different shooting games, etc.
Reload for everything and there won't be any reason not to shoot 'em all

Those things scare me (because they absolutely devour innocent little powder jugs in just a few bites)
But in all seriousness, doesn't each round of 45-70 use about 10 times the amount of powder as each round of .38 spl? That's a pricey round for plinking!Regarding the 2nd Amendment:
"...to disarm the people ― that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them." George Mason ("The Father of the Bill of Rights")
Regarding Life and Death:
"Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28

Compromise. Get a .41 mag. Better yet, get all three calibers.Comment

I say both are fantastic calibers. I reload and have been for decades. Mostly .45ACP and 10MM on two Dillon machines.
My early New Years Resolution is to start reloading for my Lever and Wheel guns that sit in my safe waiting.
So soon, .44 Magnum and .357 will be added to my ability.
All of our members should consider reloading. Ammunition in .44 and .357 is expensive to buy folks. Casual plinking can cost some serious cash. Sure, the initial cost to reload can be the same as a premium 1911, but once you get in the 'game' you can really save some $ and start feeding those safe queens.
Dillon equipment also sells well and you can recoup $ down the line if you quit reloading. JMO...

Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).Comment

When I was a kid I used to reload 20ga in my uncles gun shop out back. The first time I went dove hunting I must of shot 2 boxes of shells and didn't hit a feather. I found out years later that my cousins swapped out my dove loads for number 4 shot. Of course it didn't help I was shooting a full choke goose gun

Right on, el chivo.
BTW - At 100 yards the 357 is the equal of a 357 pistol at the muzzle.
