For my backpack carry, I have several 357 S&W and a couple of Marlin 1894's.
I got the 1894's jsut for the sake of being able to carry one cartridge with a rifle and a revolver.
I have handloads that put out 1450 fps muzzle on the revolver. If I go camping with that cartidge, I use 158gr JHP.
Lead, I have loaded and used Cast Round Nose or semiwads out of hardened wheel weights. Round nose feed better in the lever gun.
BTW, I have never had a decent feed in my levers with wadcutters.
