Those Marlins are fine rifles. I have been using a Marlin 336CB regularly with cast for lever action silhouette for at least 15 years. The cast bullet problem is typical with these...

While 5744 is a popular powder that is used for cast bullets in these old military rifles, it is not the only one. If you want to develop some accuracy cast loads for a military surplus rifle, the...

I will second the replies from both "Lead Pot" and "D. Mc Dowel".

Now you can do what you want but under no circumstances use a wooded dowel to hammer a lead slug through a rifle bore. Why you ask? because it's likely that at some point the dowel will break and...

That's why I don't use a push through sizers to seat GC's

I use to build custom muzzle loaders for several years and used reproduction parts from venders that made the appropriate castings for the particular rifle. And have been faced with this problem. It...

I probably load and shoot a thousand cast loads, give or take, through the 9mm pistol a year. And I know that you asked about load data with your powder. But there are some things that are unique to...

You need the NOE push through sizing kit and then the appropriate push rod and bushings that are needed from then on. The initial cost is more than the Lee but after that, just the relative...
