That Orca looks pretty friendly to me right at the moment.
But if the chips were down my choice would be 50BMG!!
But that's not a lever, better get a new model Marlin 1895 in .45-70 with HEAVY cast bullets to get thru all that blubber.

Modoc beat me to it - just there last year. Hadn't been for about 20 before that. Watch it though, there was a movie where an Orca burned down a town.

If he ceased to be in a freindly mood, whatever caliber you chose, a rate-of-fire in the triple-digit per minute range would suit me; or one well-placed "pineapple"..... grenade!

Gday,
Wish I owned one, but a Gatlin in 45/70, should do the trick. Dreams!

"Attacking orca - what bullet / caliber would be appropriate?"
Easy answer. I'd pull out my handy lever action trebuchet and a 300 pound stone. It works every time.
