Marlin Level action 44 mag or 45 colt.

[Catfish]

Win. runs the same twist rates, so I would guess that these are the best for the respective cal`s with the most popular bullets. I`ve always been a .44 mag. fan., probibly just because my first big bore was a .44 mag. I really don`t know how many deer I`ve taken with a .44 mag. revolver but a handgun is all I`ve ever carried since they made them legal here in Oh., and a .44 mag. is what I carried most. My longest shot was at 135 yrds at a 10 point buck that was quartering away at a trot. I hit him in the left rear quater and recovered the bullet just under the skin of the right shoulder. The bullet was a 240 gn. Serria HP. I was pushing the bullet at abt 1,250 fps. Form a rifle you will be able to push that same bullet to abt 1,750 fps. I really don`t think you could make a mistake with eather round though.
