great info guys. As stated, I currently have a dead air ghost 45 can and they said it'll handle 44 subsonic loads all day. I don't need to run full house loads in that one. My thoughts had been 300gr cast/coated or 300 XTP's.
I have a Ruger 96/44 lever gun with rotary mag (thing 10/22 but 44 mag sized) and talked to a guy a few months ago about threading it (D. Wilson) but was waiting to see what was out at SHOT this year with regards to lever guns and threading. There are a few options now. Will probably send him my Ruger and see if he can thread it but it's getting thin at the muzzle.
I'll probably end up with a 45/70 and the DA Primal and then figure out a few loads for that but I think that the 38 or 44/45 versions might be more fun for plinking. I've got plenty of 38/357/44special/mag/45 colt/schofield brass to work for any of those calibers.
FYI I just like lever guns more than bolt guns but both are pretty damn quiet when you throw a can on them, hence the questions...
