I am considering purchasing a replica 1873 Winchester rifle, not sure yet by whom or the caliber. I am looking for a good used one first.
Have found a couple in different calibers and need to know more about which is most powerful, as I know I will eventually end up hunting deer with what ever I end up with.
I like the idea of a 357mag only cause I can let my grandsons plink with 38 special rounds.
44-40 is probably most traditional, which I like
45Long Colt is an option as I have found a used one in that caliber.
Any knowledge or info as to which is the most powerful would be appreciated?
Thanks
