    Lever gun safe ammo question

    Just bought a lever gun in .44 magnum and feel comfortable that my 180 and 240 grain jacketed soft points are safe to use in the tube. (Both are flat-nosed.)

    870 to replace AR-15?

    I live on 50+ acres with no close neighbors. About six months ago, I decided a shotgun for home defense was no longer necessary and turned that duty over to my .45 and Bushmaster shorty. Now, I have a chance to pick up the same 870 I sold and am seriously considering it. I'll be keeping the...
