There's something larger than "Leverguns"?!? Say it isn't so!

Larger maybe... but not better!

Not every gun owner has a levergun - even though they should.

Done and posted on a much larger forum.

I may try it once it is available for handloading - but only after I finish off the rounds I have. I think it is of little use to have a 140gr in the lever. For me it would be plinking rounds only -

My shoulder hurts just looking at it.

5/6. 1/4"

This is a 1894 Marlin Cowboy special in .357 mag.

4. 7/8"

Note these measurements are not to the center of the screws but to the far edge.

3. 3 1/8"

Edit: center to center of screw is 2 13/16".

2. 1 5/8"

1. 4 13/16"

Thanks for the feedback - I thought maybe the 'lil gun powder would be too slow for the 4" barrel. Sounds like it should be either a very early morning or towards evening shooter.

:flameball:

Glad to hear it will be a good load for the revolver as well.

I use the blue painters tape so it comes off easily. Mark all the load data and date on it.

I normally load 180 gr laser casts with 14.6gr of 'lil gun powder with magnum primers. I decided to try the 158 gr Hornady's with 17.0 gr of 'lil gun for the lever action - this is 1gr under max suggested load. How will my Ruger GP100 in .357 shoot this load? Big fireball since it only has the 4&quo...
