I want to carry a lever gun and a revolver in like cartridge.
Mostly for dangerous game Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Alaska and other small and smaller big game use when needed.
Do you think I should just go SW460/Casull/45Colt with 45 Colt sidearm?
44mag or 357mag?
They will mainly be camp gun, horse back, quad, motorcycle... And for FUN too.

I don't think I would trust any hand gun cartridge to truly dangerous game.
For a lever gun, get a Marlin 1895 in .45/70 and whatever handgun you want, but pray you never have to use it. And if by "smaller game" you mean whitetail size, then it will work, if a little heavy handed. If you mean rabbits... probably not. hahaha.

.45-70...I am a hudge fan but...
Get a Puma M92 IN .454 Casull and a Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull or a S&W .460...

I read this a lot (3rd time this week), and while there's some validity to this approach, it's an easily-overrated attribute, IMO, since, for serious purposes (e.g. dangerous game), you'd be using (and carrying) different loads for each gun.
