Posted here because I am mainly thinking leveraction.... but what rifle cartridge has the widest possible muzzle energy powerband?
I was trying to think of one cartridge that can "do it all", from as low as say around 600 ft-lb all the way up to around 3000 ft-lb.
I was thinking 45-70 but I haven't found any loads lower than about 850 ft-lb muzzle energy.
44Special can go down to 600 ft-lb in a rifle, but 44Mag Buffalo Bore tops out around 1900 ft-lb.
Are there any other cartridges that cover more of the full powerband?
Thanks for any ideas!
