So, I've had a lot of fun with my 44 mag revolver a purchased a few months ago, and have been infected with the desire to have a rifle that shares ammo with my revolver, despite the fact I already own a .223, a 30-06 and a 7.62x54R, plus a 30-30 levergun that I can borrow from my dad at any time if I really feel the need to work a lever.
One of the biggest problems I see is that I know I will want to shoot higher velocity loads (I already load the 30-06 down for light loads) and don't currently have time to cast and GC my own bullets (between work, farm, and family) so I reload commercial cast for my revolver, which is fine for it, but I know that they will probably lead at rifle velocities, and I am too cheap to buy commercial GCs or jacketed bullets.
So talk me out of buying the levergun, seriously...
