Lever action silhouette pistol caliber rifle of choice

[Ozziemick]

In lever action silhouette, pistol caliber class, what is everyone’s favoured caliber? And rifle of choice for pistol class? Make and model?? I know this is very subjective, and there’s no right answer or best choice, but just after different opinions.

I have shot with a 45 colt in a 24' Marlin cowboy but the barrel was messed up at the factory and it wouldn't shoot lead bullets. Decided to go with a .357. The Rossi with a 24' barrel was my first choice but I couldn't find one so I bought a Henry BB. I like this gun just wish Henry made one with a 24" barrel.

I like anything .44-45 but the .357 Mag will knock them around well too.

our Henry 357 ain't bad at all but my favorite is our Henry 44 mag .... its 240 grain'ers hit hard all the way down the range ....

Have only ever used my marlin 357 but keen to see how my BBS 327 goes.
Son recently purchased a BBB in 44mag, idea was it should make a reasonable hog gun and let him shoot both pistol and rifle events with the one rifle.

I bought a BB Steel today, 357, 20” barrel. They’re getting hard to find here in Australia, price has gone up and no one knows when the next shipment will arrive. So I was happy to track one down and drop the cash on it.

Glad to hear that you were able to find one. I like mine. Your right about supply shortages the area where Henry's are made was hit fairly hard by China's gift to the rest of the world.
