    I had an older .44 mag Marlin. It did pretty good w factory ammo. Was fine for what it was. Like a Savage 99 better. Got no love for the Win 94.
    Had a BB 94 in .307......worst shooting rifle ive ever had. Had a Candian Centennial.....was OK....but not a fan of .30-30. A few rimfire levers over the years. All gone.

    My boy cleanly took a Buck this youth season with a 357 Magnum lever gun. Used 158 grain soft point PMC bullets. It went through both shoulders the deer dropped and didn't take another step. So don't let them fool you as long as you stay within 50 yards or so even a 357 Magnum which kicks less than a 44 magnum what do the job

    My Henry .357 had no problem on a yearling this year. Hot 140 XTP hand loads resulted in clean pass through. I’ll never doubt .357 on deer within reasonable range.

    BLR 7 mag. My First deer with it this year did not disappoint.

    Very nice! I've worked a few BLR's and they seem smoother to me than a henry long ranger. Have you worked both of the actions?

    I have, but only played with a Henry a little, I can’t really remember. I’m a fan of both companies. Based off my experience with my Henry big boy I’m sure you can’t go wrong with either.

    Wow, no lever gun love since 2019... Well let's fix this. I just got me a new "shotgun card" style ammo holder for my .44 mag Chiappa takedown from Grim Hunter Tactical Gear. Figured I'd give that a try. If I use up those 10 rounds, I can just pull another out of a pocket, slap 10 more on and go.

    Tell me about that different mag tube end piece, please.
