Contemplating buying a Marlin Dark series in either 44mag or 30/30 and weighing up the pros and cons.
A lot of the cartridge data for these rounds seems to relate to 44’s fired from revolver length barrels while the 30/30 data is mostly obtained from 24 inch rifle barrels. While these show a significant power advantage to the 30/30 they would be substantially closer with a 16 inch barrel, but how close at 50,100 and 150 yards?.
