Initially, I was looking to get this in the .454, but Rossi looks to have discontinued the line and obtaining the rifle is more trouble- not to mention pricier -than what its worth.
Now I'm considering more realistic calibers. I would like a .45, but the question is how hot can i load this in a Marlin? I'm looking to play out to 200 yards (or better!) and still be able to give whatever I'm hitting something more than a love tap. Yes, an actual rifle cartrige would be better for this, but this is lever gun fun

Ultimately, this is the birthday rifle deathmatch against a keltec SU-16c or ca, which are not lever rifles
