There is some merit here. Is this just to say you have a rifle/revolver combo and shoot it occasionally or is this to be a regular shooter? If they are to be regular shooters, 22lr is going to be far and away your cheapest option. Lots of great 22lr lever guns out there (the Winchester 9422 is my preference) and a whole ton of great 22lr revolvers too. If you want something more powerful but still a regular shooter, 357 mag/38 special is going to be the next cheapest option if you're not reloading..22lr and don't look back.. because pillar of salt and or everyone is laughing.
However, if you're just getting them for occasional shooting and to have them and the calibers must match, 45LC or 44 mag would have more oomph but cost a bit more for factory loaded ammo.
Good luck! Fun problem to solve!
