Best cal. of the leavers?
what is the best leaver action caliber for longer ranges and has the most knock down power?

This is only using factory loads also, none of these hot handloads .
Edited to add: by longer ranges i mean farther then the 3030 Ive herd that there not realy good past 100 or so yards

RE: Best cal. of the leavers?
I'm wondering how long a range you are thinking of.
I immediately thought of the Savage lever rifles if you can find one yet. Other than that, maybe a browning lever. The tube feeds can get you a fat, crushing bullet but after a bit they run a rainbow on the trajectory.

if you want a long range leaver gun you'll want a long range caliber. in that case i would go with a blr, you can get just about any caliber for it. i'm not sure what the prices are but for long range shooting that's what i would go with and just pick the caliber of your choice.

ohhhhhh. ok then. i'm not really sure then. one of my friends has a scoped 30-30 that shoots very well out to 125+yards. my lever gun is a 16 inch barreled 44 mag. it definately isn't a long range gun. it's ok out to 125 or so. but i didn't get if for long distances.

The Browning Lever is about your only option. The are clip fed so you can use pointed bullets. I think it comes in 22-250 and 243 as far as varmit rounds.

RE: Best cal. of the leavers?
yea true but it was my understanding that he meatn something other than a blr, like normal lever gun calibers
I didn't get that out of the question at all. Unless he changed his original post.

Sounds to me like he wants a lever gun in a factory loading for longer ranges than normally associated with them.
