Thanks guys!!

Thanks guys. I'm kinda late to the party!!! I did pick up a new to me lever gun on my birthday. A 1971 vintage Marlin 1894 44 Mag. So far only shot it enough to check function, but all looks good. Need to fire up the lead pot and get some bullets cast up. Thanks again.

I used an alloy of straight clip on wheel weights. Only ever loaded it to about 1100 fps. Used mostly HS6 and Trailboss. The loaded rounds will look like 410 brass shotgun shells. The bullets get seated deep in the case like a slug in a shotgun shell. Supper time now, I'll post more later.

I am the one that actually put that gun together. I took the barrel off and sent it to Bowen for the barrel work. I did the rest of the work. It is extremely accurate with a RCBS 45-255-SWC and HS6. Shot loads are very comparable to 2.5" 410 loads. Those grips are American Holly. If you enjoy p...
