Re: 223 Wylde interpretation?
The Wylde Chamber is a propitiatory design to accommodate (safely) longer bullets, from 77gr up to 80gr "match grade" bullets without having to worry about pressures from the other chamber designs (has a longer leade). I think the only one more generous is the one by the AMU (Army Marksman...

My (New to Me) 1894 .357
Thought I'd tease you guys/gals about my Marlin. No--don't have it yet but it gets out of CA "time out" (still have the 10 days waiting here) so I'll pick it up this next week and try to get some pictures posted. I have plenty of factory ammo BUT was savvy enough to purchase these .38/357 ...

Re: photos of my shooting
Nice shooting and both groups are great. I also have a Remington (541X) and shot NRA 3-positional (many moons ago). I shot what I could afford- Federal 711 and Federal Match stuff. One of the guys that shot in our club matches tossed me a box of SK Match (German made and in 2004 was $1.98/box of 50)...
