There has been several mentions of the Whisper and the 45-70...
You can get both of these no problem in a Thompson Center Contender...yeah they are single-loaders...I don't really look at it as a detraction, though.
Shot a friends 14" 300-221 (300 Whisper) loaded to subsonic velocities and didn't even need earplugs. He had a hard time dealing with the slightly higher cost of the 200 gr VLD bullets so used some 190 gr. hunting bullets and they worked just as good...he kept his starting charge the same he said.
You can also go with an Encore pistol/rifle so that you have access to the heavier rifle calibers, as well.
