Since centerfire rifles are becoming popular for deer hunting in Ohio here is a good article for loading modern bullets in lever actions.

On another note when I was at the gunclub today sighting in my 460 S&W Mag and 45-70 rifles and a club member asked why I was bothering with those two rifle rounds 2 days before deer gun season. I told him I was using them for Ohio deer season. He didn't know straight wall rounds were permitted. Then he asked that surely they would have to be loaded with black powder. I explained the new centerfire straight wall rounds with smokeless powder permitted for 4 seasons now. Now he said he had to buy another rifle. LOL
He was sighting in his ML but shots wouldn't go off because he felt he had 'wet powder'. He left before I had a chance to try to help him.
