pump
The .357 levers are popular, so a pump .357 should be more the same.
I zero my .357 lever , these days, on at 75 yds. Used to go to 100, but found the distances I was shooting things at, 75 put the slug closer to line of sight.
Played around with a wide variety of bullet weights, and am shooting 158 JHP at full power presently. That gives fair velocity, are readily available, and does not sell the rifle short on power as a lighter bullet might. By that I mean, the 125 +/- clan are fast and explosive, but not really hog and deer bullets. I can do near anything with a 158 that I could do with a 125, but not viceversa.
Shoot the rifle a lot and get back to us. I always wanted one.
