What cartridges would you like to see leverguns chambered for?

[Nightcrawler]

Nevermind their sellability or how well the market would accept them. What kind of cartridges would YOU like to see in a lever rifle? As an aside, I'm pretty sure they can make a levergun that can use a rimless cartridge. They do it with .35 Remington, after all!

Here are some of mine:

.50 Action Express
.41 Magnum
.45ACP/.45 Super/.460 Rowland
.445 Super Maximum (.454 power at lower pressures)
10mm Norma

 

[Bob Locke]

I always thought the .41 mag would be superb in a lever gun.

 

[Jim Watson]

Marlin made a few .41s.

 

[inGobwetrust]

I'll second the .50 AE.

 

[lilbiggun]

I'd like to see a lever offered 35 whelen but in a marlin or win rifle. The brownings just never appealed to me.

 

[glockten]

.45 Win. Mag.

 

[Scarborough]

9mm Para.; .45 ACP; .40-65; .40-72; 6.5x55.

 

[Shin-Tao]

9x19mm

10mm auto

5.56mm NATO

 

[Yanus]

The return of the M94 in 307 Win and 7mm-Waters.

Winchester has done some really stupid things of late.

 

[maxinquaye]

.50 BMG

 

[Nightcrawler]

.50BMG?

Hmm....now, if you had a box magazine like a Winchester 95, and the gun was really big, you could probably make a .50BMG lever gun.

Thing is, lever guns are meant to be fired from the shoulder. .50BMG guns are not.

 

[MeekAndMild]

5.5 mm Velo Dog, the ultimate low power center fire plinking round!

 

[tomsas]

.358 Win...

 

[Ziplok]

30 cal Carbine in a Winchester or Marlin.

 

[Matt Sutton]

My question is how well do lever guns work with rimless cases? Specifically tube fed guns. I know the Savage 99 and the BLR work fine with them.

 

[krept]

.50 AE would be my first choice. Do they make one in .454 Casull?

 

[dwesson445]

41 Mag followed by 256 Win.

 

[Bogie]

.357 Max comes to mind... The .30 Carbine could also be interesting...

 

[k77/22rp]

.308 win, with 5 or 10 round detachable box magazine.

 

[OkieCruffler]

7.62X39.

Why?

Why not?
