In P.O. Ackley’s Handbook For Shooter & Reloaders (Vol. # 1), Ackley lists a series of cartridges for lever action rifles (Marlin and Winchester) that go by the name of “Lever Power”. Apparently this type of cartridge was developed by Fred Wade. These wildcats are based on the 30-40 Krag case, which was necked up or down to fit different caliber rifles.

Does anyone know if there is a gunsmith still doing this type of conversion to lever rifles?
