"OLD" Marlin 1894 .44 Mag

[shooterg]

Several threads I peeked at seem to agree that the older (early 70's ) Marlin .44 mags just won't shoot cast. True across the board or do some boolits perform OK in 'em ? And yes, I have one, so inquiring mind needs to know !

Can somebody delete this thread ? I had a screen blackout and then I end up with a double post.

I have a 1894 "Octagon" that was made in 1973. It shoots great with lead bullets. In fact, that's all I use in it.
