We use them down here in SW Sapin, max capacity is 3 rounds I think, I used to use a Ruger.44 carbine for wild boar here but found I couldn't take it to UK or Africa so sold it to my gardener and bought a .44 marlin lever action, shot my bushbuck in Africa with it 3 weeks ago, it has had a trigger job, a special one piece stainless firing pin and is topped with a Leupold VXIII 1.5-5, nice little carbine. rgds
