[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2764894, member: 3099"] There's no such thing as "knockdown" power. You can hit them wrong with a .700 Nitro Express and they'll still run off. But I do prefer fat heavy bullets for in the brush at short ranges. With that .375, if sighted in with the proper hold you can aim dead center out to 160 yards and still hit the vitals on a deer with factory 250 grain ammo. I was going to try and use 235 grain spitzers to see if I could stretch that to 200 yards or a little more. The Hornady Leverevolution ammo changed the lever action game but they don't make it in this caliber, so I was going to try and make my own and just load one in the tube. Ha! Only if priced fairly, if I priced it at half what it's worth and it would go quick. Hit up the Marlin forums and you'll see that they aren't what they once were. If I were buying today I'd look at Uberti, Henry, almost anything other than Marlin. The old ones were great. [/QUOTE]
