Still, both will need work to run smoothly and reliably.
Hmmm, that's not my experience with Rossi/Puma's in my/other fellow CAS shooters. Then again, that's just my experience.
Anyone know how the kick on a .44mag rifle compares to a 30-30?
Try this recoil calculator. http://www.handloads.com/calc/recoil.asp I probably don't have the numbers quite right, but the 44 Mag has significantly less recoil even in a "hot" load
________________________________30-30_________44 Mag
Bullet weight in grains______________170___________240
Velocity in fps_____________________2200__________1600
Powder charge in grains_____________30____________18
Weight of firearm in lbs______________6______________6
Free recoil energy in (ft/lbs)__________14.01__________11.60
