My 45 CC shoots it just fine... Most people who have problems with micro groove and lead need to clean more often or adj you mixture/lobe for cleaner firing loads.

Try it, nothing to loose. I would not sell mine for nothing!

A friend of mine has one and it shoots my load of Power Pistol and RCBS 147gr TC just fine fun accurate little gun. I'd have to go look at the powder charge don't want to say from memory but you can get info from Alliants site. We had to replace the the nylon buffer in his other than that it's never had a problem. Tried to trade him out of it a few times with no success. FB

My .45 CC shoots cast wonderfully. It's all I shoot out of it.

That's all I shoot in my .45 camp carbine. Mostly hard cast at a moderate speed, it's pretty accurate for a pistol caliber rifle.

My Camp 45 shot lead real well even though it wasn't supposed to with it micro groove rifiling.

By the way, nice avatar pic, I wore that at one time also.

I had one years ago and fed it nothing but lead. It would function with anything I put in it.

A very nice little gun, but I traded it off for something else that caught my eye at the time. :roll:

I still have two of the original 20 round Marlin magazines I'd be willing to part with for a reasonable price. If you're interested send me a PM.
