"Writer Brian Pearce has compared the effects of the .44 from a rifle to a .30/06, and while we're at it, the .357 to a .30/30, within their ranges of course."
Pappy: Do you have a reference for that article? Thanks.
Not one article, but rather a number of them over the years. Pearce is a big fan of lever guns, especially one for handgun cartridges, with Marlins apparently a favorite. He's been nagging Marlin for years about increaing the twist rate in their .44s, but only the .444s got a boost, along with Ballard rifling, I believe. He had a very slick custom Marlin takedown built a while back, a real dream piece.
Most of the articles with that info are in my tub of print copies rather than the e-zines I get now, so finding them would be quite a chore as they're not organized.
