For me it would be a savage 99 in.358 winchester (both are out of production last i heard) You say the devil made do it with a smile. But a 500 grain bullet hunting load in a light lever gun will rock your world.

I've killed deer over 200yrds with all 3 of them, so any of them will work.
So bear that in mind.
Navy warships launched in the 1880s and 1890s. You can even find a few +p loads. By randy bohannon » tue jun 30, 2020 11:41 pm. The 44mag is the most economical for cost.
The larger, slower bullet is more likely to tumble on impact and damage much more tissue.
What i really want though is a marlin 1894 pre. Designed in 1873, this round was meant for use by the us army with their springfield rifles during and after the american civil war. Never been able to get one to shoot good. The groups (thus scores) got better.
Besides a belly shot will get half the field dressing done for you right there on the spot, ma be a bit messy but it will work.
The marlin 1894 in 44 mag that i’ve owned simply don’t have the correct bore diameter or twist. Either one works just fine in a tubed magazine. The browning blr is a great rifle, but kinda pricey for what you get. I enjoy the marlin 336 30/30 but like the 357 magnum more.
Naming conventions for cartridges are from the bullet’s diameter and the weight of black powder grains.
There is good reason the schuetzen shooters of old went to the smaller calibers for 200yd. The 45/70 hand loaded for a ruger #1 is one mean rifle, so is the marlin 45/70 just don't expect it to run a hot load your ruer likes.
