Thread: Lever guns - What do ya reckon?

I love my 358win in Sav 99 but with full power loads it would not be my first choice as a short range quick fire rifle, just too much recoil.
For that the 243 is much nicer to use. Or look at the 30/30, 35rem, 375win (all based on the old 38-55 case)
Or as I reload I carry it with a mag full of pistol bullets over trail boss and just drop in a full power cartridge for longer shots as I generally have enough time to settle into a rest etc.
Those loads at 357mag power levels are real Good fun and fast shooting without cooking my barrel. 5 Rapid full power shots really get the barrel hot.
