Re: If Not a Bolt Action, Which Is Better, Straight Pull Bolt, Lever or Pump?

The limitation here is the caliber you might be considering because the rifles tend to use ammo with blunt nose bullets due to the tube feed magazine. The bullet shape can impact the aerodynamics of the round down range unless you opt for one of the levers fed from a box magazine like the Browning BLR.
jdstar, can I introduce you to the 21st century?
Hornady has been selling ammo made for lever guns with flex tips for a few years now.
The bullets have a flexible tip so they don't impact the primer of the round in front of them during recoil.
The ballistic tip helps the bullet achieve very good accuracy at long range.

(I do not work for Hornady, nor do I have stock in the company. I am, however, really impressed with this ammo.)
