Uhh the 1858 Remington ( it was Remington by the way ) in the Army configuration was normally chambered for .44 as opposed to Landas 9mm. As for the rifles, while the Hanry may fire a weaker round and it does. It also holds 3 times as many and fires them twice as fast.

Also the reason bolt action rifles tended to be favored over lever action for military use is because they were easier to fire prone.
