[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2381863, member: 75779"] I load for and shoot a 45 raptor. Might even be the first person in Michigan to kill a deer with the cartridge. Its an amazing round. There is very little difference in the 450bm vs the raptor when both are loaded to the same pressure. The issue with a lever gun is the recoil could actually cause an unintentional detonation in the tube if certain bullets are used. So, that would limit your choice of bullets. I run a bolt gun and a 20" barrel and wouldn't consider a lever gun. In a lever, I'd look at a 445 supermag because they use hp bullets most often. I don't know where you could find a 45 cal barrel for a lever gun. IMO you'll be working very hard and spend lots of $$ to get sub optimal performance. [ATTACH=full]324273[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
