Thoughts on a 357 rifle under 75 yards for whitetail

[Purebred Redneck]

Thinking of buying a lever carbine as well as a revolver.
The rifle would be for deer and revolver just a beat around the bush gun.

If I reloaded, a 44 or 45 would be more practical.
I don't though, so I'm leaning towards the 357 as I am hearing fairly good things from people who have recent experiences from rifles (opposed to people who shot deer 30 years ago with a revolver).

What's everyone's opinion of a 357 with a rifle?

BuffaloBore ammo:
18.5 inch Marlin 1894
a. Item 19A/20-180gr. Hard Cast = 1851 fps
b. Item 19B/20-170gr. JHC = 1860 fps
c. Item 19C/20-158gr. Speer Uni Core = 2153 fps

We're approaching 30-30 levels on some of this !!!

And what about your standard Winchester or Federal hunting rounds? Not quite as powerfull as buffalobore but they are a bit cheaper.

Thanks
