I’ve shot a .44 mag lever gun, and they’re a blast—literally. The extra barrel length really lets you push the round’s potential, especially if you’re into reloading. You can tune your loads to maximize performance for the rifle, and it’s nice not having to chase brass all over the place with a lever gun.
If you’re planning to shoot a lot, having a steady supply of ammo is key. I’ve found
bulkmunitions.com handy for stocking up on .44 mag without breaking the bank.
