    yep, familiar with that one. I've always wanted a suppressed lever gun, but I want to make it a heavy hitter. Maximum weight.

      As in 45-70, perhaps? Do eeeet.

        I was thinking .500 magnum, but that's the Yale inside me saying that. Really a .452 projectile would be a much better choice for reloading components, cases, and suppressors. A 500 magnum in a rifle would be awful. I would never, ever want to shoot that.

            Last time I checked they are ridiculously expensive... and not threaded for a suppressor if I'm not mistaken.

                Jacketed bullets do not go down a barrel very easily as compared to a cast bullet. If you are shooting jacketed bullets they need to be loaded HOT and even then you are going to get a bullet stuck in a barrel at some point.

                It shouldn't cause a problem but it does. Shoot enough factory jacketed plinking ammo and you will have a bullet not leave the barrel one day.

                      Plano pawn has the short barrel Rossi repeaters in .45 LC for about $450. I think that is a decent price from what few I have seen for sale. I would like to own one of the Henry repeaters in .44 mag.

                        Yep; I clean to the bare metal on every gun that I own after each use. I normally use wipe-out or butch's bore shine.

                          Cool. I still wouldn't be afraid to shoot jacketed .357 or .45 Colt out of a lever gun. This is Tanner, anyway. He rents guns worse than I do.

                            ^^^^^

                            I am not afraid either. I was just pointing out that a lot of factory .38spl and .357mag ammo was not loaded with a 18"-24" barrel in mind and it causes problems. Shoot enough of it and you will see what I am talking about. When I still owned a .44spl/.44mag lever rifle and a .38spl/.357mag lever rifle I was very careful about what I shot in it; but it seemed pointless after I compared a 30/30 load to even the hottest .44mag load.
