Marlin xlr worth?
Thinking of parting with my Marlin (not Remlin) XLR 45-70. Has about 1 box of ammo (WW 300gr HP went into 1.5" with open sights @100yds) thru it and I do have the box. Just wondering what it is worth nowadays?

Re: How Do You Burn Through Most Of Your .22 Rimfire?
Plinking with either my nylon 66 or my Marlin 39a. Enjoy shooting at our 300yd gongs with open sights, with the Marlin. Should scope it as my 67 yr old eyes aren't near as good as they used to be.

Re: Does anybody make a hp mold for the 38-40?
Arsenal molds makes a 205 rnfp you could send to Erik and have him hollow point it for you. They also have a 200gr swc keith type mould, if you are loading for pistols, and it might feed in a rifle. It does mine somewhat.
I have both and the 205gr shoots real well in my '92.
