If you were going to get both a six gun and a lever gun both in the same caliber, which would you go for?
.357 magnum seems to be a well rounded round for both and both (least the lever guns I have looked at in .357) can use .38 specials for less punch plinking. .44 mag adds more punch.
Though a six gun and lever gun combo to me screams cowboy, and .357 or .44 mag do not. What does scream cowboy round to me is .45 long colt. Only problem with it is that while it is a good man stopped and was the preferred handgun round for a good stretch, I know next to nothing about its hunting capabilities.
So what caliber would you go with to be used in both a lever and a six gun?
Note I put it here because since it contains both questions on a rifle and a revolver it didn't seem right to me to put it in either of their respective forums, mods feel free by all means to move it if you feel the need.
