I'm looking to purchase a new lever action in the next month or two. I'm having trouble deciding on which manufacture to go with and which caliber to go with. Only look at these two calibers as I have been trying to consolidate some calibers lately and I already own revolvers in both these calibers. The primary purpose will be for hunting white-tail in Ohio. I reload for other calibers and will be reloading for both of these in the near future.
