If so, what weight boolit did you use?
What weight would you recommend for deerhunting?
Background:
I'm doing research to choose a .357 lever action. One of the uses will be for hunting whitetails in WI. When I stumbled on paper patching or paper jacketing soft lead to magnum (or full size rifle) velocities I really liked the idea. Soft lead expanding but keeping together for good penetration- I've been impressed with the paper patched results I've seen. So that seemed the perfect thing to let me have a firearm to plink with or turn into a real deerslayer. However, I've run into the fact that different rifling in the Rossi and Marlin and Henry stabilizes different weights of bullets. Since for hunting I do want to use a paper patched boolit- this question needs to be answered in order for me to choose my lever action. I searched the forum but only came up with paper patching the .357 maximum and paper patching in a revolver- so importantly different from my planned use.
