There is a post in THR where a fellow made hot 357 loads for his Marlin lever action, and painted them red to warn himself from revolver use.
Sounds great to me for terrific ballistics. However, I would love to have a big bore lever without the weight of say a 444 or 45-70. I'm thinking bear defense in AK with the 629 as a side arm, and a light Winchester 94 with near over pressure (painted red) loads. The 94 in 44 is on sale for $300, and I am tempted to buy it for AK backpacking (not hunting).
Just a tube full for dire times, not daily shooting.
The mossberg 590 would of course be first choice, but I'm thinking for a fun backup.
