I picked up a Big Boy Steel Carbine for Christmas for my 9 year-old. It's in 357 mag. Of course we haven't shot it yet, but I like it so much I ordered one in 45 Colt for myself (Christmas present from my family). This will be my first lever action.
I was a little worried about feeding the bullets I have since all I have are wadcutters and SWC. But I found the rifle cycles 358477 bullets with no problems.
