Okay, last post before I have to get back to work! I have been thinking of trading one of my bolt actions for a little lever gun companion to my revolvers ( dang it I'm hooked! ) and I can't decide which caliber.
On the .357 side, it's cheaper to shoot, recoils less and is adequate for deer. As for the .44 it can be used for bigger game should the need or desire arise.
My concern is the slower twist of the .44. Why do they do that? I know we've discussed it before but I'd like to gather personal experiences. Who has one or both of these and how accurately does it shoot, REALLY! As someone (maybe Townsend Whelen) once said, the only interesting rifle is an accurate rifle! Thanks for any comments. ID
