Re: My Favorite Levergun Cartridge
I like Jack said am going backwards but have the 30-30 as my favorite lever gun, man the savage 99
in the guns i have are a close 2nd but what cartridge? so the 30-30 wins on all its merits
the 32-20 brass is always a pain to find in brown grass

Re: Winchester 1894 .32-40 to the range
That is a fine shooter!
I did look too see if i ever shot jacketed out of my old Marlin & found i used 30-31 with a speer 170 gr.
and it was more accurate than the cast bullet but both did well enough for me
Nice rifle & thanks for the report
