Re: Most Powerful
Not all that powerful, but a thumper nonetheless is my Marlin 336 in 35 Remington. It sends a nice and fat 200 grainer down range at about 2100 fps.

Re: Most Powerful
Got a few of them also ditto.
Have thumped a few deer with the ole 35, never lost one.
Heck only one made it more than 25 yds. after being introduced.

Re: Most Powerful
I have friends who legally own and enjoy shooting legacy black guns; but for me, pistol caliber lever action rifles and SAA revolvers are much more interesting and entertaining.CentFlHenry41 wrote:Beowulf 50

Good thing, too; that gun and others like it have not been allowed in CT for several years.

Re: Most Powerful
can't speak for a 41 but we've used HSM Cowboy Action Ammo in both our Henry 44 Mag and 45-70 .... it performs well in both of themCentFlHenry41 wrote:I have only tried one gun shop so far for 41 ammo and he only had HSM cowboy action 210 gr semi wadcutter lead is this ok to use. I was wanting jhp?

Re: Most Powerful
Mine would be the sporter model of Browning's B.A.R. in .30-06, then again, my type 99 Arisaka packs quite a punch with that 7.7x58 pill.
In pistol caliber, it would be an H&R Handi-Rifle in .500S&W magnum, but that's a single-shot.
My favorite big bore pistol caliber rifle is a Puma (Rossi) M92 in .454 Casull. So much fun...

Re: Most Powerful
Just picked up a beautiful late vintage Marlin 444SS, just when I was trying to swear off the big thumpers. Oh, well. Love the 444 Marlin cartridge and have experience shooting it. Even had some old ammo laying around. Besides, every girl deserves to have a grizzly bear gun, right?
