As such I have ordered a Citadel in 357/38 (38 is sub sonic and 357 for more punch).

    The plan is to cut the Citadel down to min legal length (maybe 3-5 rounds) and add a modified over barrel can and see how that goes, I have one guy who shoots deer at longer range and does not want to drag his long range gun with him when he gets the animal, as was mentioned people want a pistol, so this would be as near to a pistol as you could legally have.

    Once again that to all who replied.

    Cheers

    Shit you’ll owe me royalties (jokes ofcorse )lol virtually just said what I said lol
    Just used a citadel instead of a rossi
    Should work perfectly though maybe work out some places you can make lighting cuts to make it lighter as well
    The lighter and shorter the better eh even flute the barrel if you wanted to get really flashy

    The answer is obviously .45-70. Fits in both lever action and break barrel. Has enough authority for any situation, and variety of projectiles.

    If you port just-ahead of the chamber (rather than toward muzzle end of the barrel) you can easily bleed enough gas to make factory ammo subsonic.

    A better option IMO would be to procure/make/sell loaded ammo.
    The only Government to trust: .45-70
