Lever Gun balistics comparison

[quietman]

Went through the most used lever gun rifle caliber (.30 .30, .35 Rem, 45/70) ballistics charts and put them together. Then added the 308 and 338 MX to the list.

The standard loads are from Federals website, and of course, the LE stuff from Hornady.

The results are interesting when viewed side by side in the older calibers.
Here's the chart

Nice thanks for sharing. My only lever gun is an 1892 .357, but I love it. I would not mind a Mossberg 30-30

Thankyou for the nice chart.

NOTE: Muzzle energy of the 45-70 is incorrect for the 325gr. bullet.

What you don't belive it has over 30,000 ft lbs of muzzle energy?

Thanks, I didn't see the typo until later It's fixed now.

Also did one for the big bore riles- 45/70, 444, and 450 with the MX rifles. This one includes recoil numbers for the different guns.
