I'm thinking about buying my first rifle. I have a couple of revolvers and a shotgun, but no rifles. It's a tossup between a nice bolt action .22lr (think CZ or something similar), or, a lever action in .38/.357 (LGS has plenty of them). Those are what I'm considering , because those two (three) calibers are what I currently have in revolvers. I figured it would be nice to keep somewhere in the same caliber family that I already have stock of.
Anyway.... one thing I was thinking about.. My whole stock pile of .38/.357 (minus a box or two of defense rounds) consists of FMJ round nose. A coworker told me that type of round is not good in a lever action. He never got to explain, as the water-cooler session came to an abrupt end (boss walked in, lol).
What was he talking about?
I'm a rifle noob, so talk slowly, lol....
Thanks
