Lever actions are definitely cool. Just remember that pistol caliber bullets are designed to operate at pistol velocities. JHPs pushed 400 fps faster than they were designed may expand explosively and under penetrate. Jacketed soft points may be worth a look though. As I recall, Skeeter wrote that 1300 fps was the threshold to move to JSPs over JHPs for 357 Magnum.
