Hi guys,

I'm going to buy a lever action in either 357 or 44 mag.

I'm pretty keen on the 44 mag chambering but wouldn't mind either because with the 357 ill be able to use 38 specials as well. I don't hunt so power isn't a factor. Is there much difference in ammo/reloading price?

Can you guys shed some light on a good lever action for these calibres. I really want the Marlin but am a bit worried about this Remington takeover and the subsequent quality and feeding issues that may or may not come with.

Would I do well with a Rossi 92 or a Winchester?

Also up to 300 meters/yards how much different is the trajectory of the 2 calibres?
