Evening all,
I just aquired a Marlin 336 from a gentleman up the road a bit. Not my first 336 or even my first 30/30 but this one is a beauty. Bought new in '91 it has fewer than 50 rounds through it and is in superb condition. Okay, enough bragging. It got me started wondering again what other cartridges, preferably smaller, would be useful in this type of rifle. I've heard of lever guns in .357, .44 and several others but have never tried one. For some reason a good pistol cartridge in a lever gun appeals to me. In some ways less useful but it seems like it would be a lot of fun to shoot. So what works and has shown itself to be worthwhile in a lever action?
