Brother Lowell,
Brother Greg is in the Ten-Ring with his ballistic assesment and advice. If you wish to up the ante a bit, try this guy. Well known in certain circles and well tested on fauna from the woodlot to Africa: buffalobore.com
Lever actions are really fun guns, within reasonable expectations. A fellow named Paco Kelly has done some bit of shooting research on assorted models and calibers. Worth a search to locate the articles. Be aware that his limits may exceed those with which you are comfortable, but that he's an honest reporter.
Happy totin', there, Senor del la Glenthorne
