Okay I used to keep a guide gun loaded with cowboy loads and hornady lever rounds.
Both in the car and in house. I am going to look at this as 1. he has a 45/70 currently and asking on loads performance.
In answer to this yes it will perfom. but it will also go thru depending on cross sectional area of impacts. So assume a side chest shot will it drop someone absolutely. will it go probably yes. question is do you have to worry about that ? Yes. if so what type of environment are you in ? Close neighbors etc Then again if thats all you have and its down to be drt or alive which one do you worry about first ?
A 223 may not penetrate but it also is non pc for most of the world. So That alone will draw more problems from the uninformed or the cranial rectal impaction groups. A lever action looks like an old west gun Which they consider old and not as threatening. Which is _____________. He dosen't say he has a 223. If it's a single shot rifle or sharps. it will do the job just more factors to think over but basic yes it will be enough rifle to stop someone. As the old west used them for how many years ?
