I was looking at getting a lever action for white tail deer and I wasn’t sure if anyone could tell me the difference in recoil between these 2 rounds. I need something that won’t kick too much but enough to bring down a deer at 100 yards and under. Thanks
As best I can tell the Super mag is 0.05" longer then the maximum and that is about it. 1.610 if I remember correctly. Am I missing something??
The short version of the story is that Ruger didn't want to lengthen the frame of their revolver to fit the supermag length as designed by Elgin Gates, so in conjunction with Remington, they shortened the case & called it the 357 Maximum. They probably didn't have to pay Gates any royalty that way also.
I had a Marlin M57 Levermatic in 22 LR and LOVED IT!
