Hi everyone,
First time posting to this site. From past experiences, Ive learned to ask the people who are getting their hands dirty (you guys on forums/in the fields). Im also new to guns and hunting so don't know a whole bunch about them except for the research I've been doing lately, so bare with me. Also, I don't know about advantages/disadvantages of different types of ammo.
Im originally from California and moved to Iowa for school. Iowa just opened hunting with a rifle if you use a straight wall cartridge. Ive already taken all steps to hunt so now I need to get a gun. Ive been looking into a lever action (Marlin/Henry). Specifically the 45-70.
My question is, what other round would you suggest other than 45-70 and why? Remember, I want to be able to use the rifle in Iowa and California for deer and eventually Elk.
Here is a list of rounds that can be shot in Iowa from a rifle to hunt.
357 magnum
357 maximum
357 winchester
38 super
40 S&W
401 powermac
10 mm auto
41 Remington magnum
41 action express
44 S&W special
44 Remington magnum
44 automagically
444marlin
445 super mag
45 ACP
45Colt
45 Winchester Magnum
45 Silhouette
450 Bushmaster
451 Detonics
454 Casull
45-70 Gov
460 Rowland
460 S&W
480 Ruger
50 action express
Here is a link for ammo (by manufacturer) to hunt in California

Again, I am wondering if there is a better round that I should be considering besides the 45-70.
Thanks in advance gunmen,
