Lets talk power

I am huge fan of powerful leverguns especially 338 ME however the brass is becoming more and more rare. Aside from 338 ME what is ballistically similar to 338ME but can be made from commercially available brass? This includes accepted wildcats.

He was an abused horse. I took him to keep the owner from shooting him and we bonded. It took 2 years before he would let me ride him or catch him loose in the field. I am, literally, the only person who could handle him. My wife was terrified of him but we were buds and I darn sure am gonna miss him

With the rising popularity of pistol caliber leverguns why hasnt there been a similar rise in the variety of "gummy tip" projectiles? Hornady only makes 140s for 357...why no 125, 115 or even 158? The better ballistic coefficient seems like a no brainer for tubular mags. Heck, a 165 grain ...
