				Marlin Level action 44 mag or 45 colt.
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			Been doing a bit of research on the lever action pistol cartridge rifles from marlin and have a couple of questions.  
 
Th 44 mag has a 1 in 38 right hand twist, the 45 colt has a 1 in 16 right hand twist.  Since this is for deer hunting in Indiana, would not the 45 long colt be the better of the two for 100 yard shots? 
 
I think the 1 in 38 would have some problems stablizing larger bullet weights. The 45 would not and I believe the two are about the same power with the proper loading.
