Maybe I am not rational, but I always considered it a bit silly to bother carrying a rifle then having it chambered for a pistol cartridge. For some reason, folks who liketo do thatseem to exaggerate the power of the pistol/revolver cartridge; I have been told that a .44 Magnum out of a riflehasmore powerthan a .30-'06 from the same length barrel!!

My .44 mag with 240g handloads is easily more effective on dear/hogs inside 100 yards than my 30-30, both out of 20" 94 wins.

If all you have to coveris 150yds, why do you need a riflecartridge? Yaknow,some folks even use muzzleloaders that weigh 10lbs and are only good for about 100yds. Imagine that!?!?!?!

I've taken a deer at 330 yards with my .58 caplock with a 525g mini. However my .62 is limited to about 150 yards due to the trajectory of it 900g bullet. Don't fall for the Myths on muzzleloaders.
