    This is my favorite bullet. I shoot it in my Ruger 38's and my 357's and shoot it a lot in my Marlin 1894. It is accurate and the best thing about it is, I can load it light, use less powder, less...

    What you got there is Trail Boss powder. Works great in a lot of my loads, note the little holes which makes them look like little donuts. They are designed for CB shooters, fill the case pretty...

    I have 3 Marlins, 1894 .357 magnum, .44 magnum and a 336 in 35 Remington. Love them all, but I think the Henry's have a smoother action than any of them, Winchester included.
