[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 347071, member: 2736"] Ether the 444 or the 450 marlin would be a great choice in a lever gun !!!! I have several 444s and they are power houses and the marlin lever gun is a good one. How ever The lever guns do have there limits and I think the 444 or 450 are about it. The new Hornady Leverevolution bullets has definitely improved the performance and the ballistics of the lever guns. The 458 short mag is a little intense for the leaver guns and was designed around a short action bolt rifle with the potential of 60,000+ pressures. The best leaver guns are held to around 45,000 PSIs. But if your looking for something more powerful that a 30/30 then ether the 444 or the 450 will be a big step up and you won,t be dissapointed in ether. I have killed many deer and hogs with a 444 contender and it is amazing how it puts them down. Also ether the 444 or 450 are factory rounds and rifles are made for them. [/QUOTE]
