Your Marlin give you the same issue with the Magma profile?

Thanks Savvy. I knew seating the boolit deeper would spike pressures a bit, hense my saying I'd have to start over with the load development.
Think I may load 10 dummies, seat past the crimp groove...

Here is the actual boolit.

Yup. Early Marlin 1894 Carbine made around 1921-1922.
I knew it was the forward driving band. Did not know it wasn't incorporated into the original .44-40 design. As I'm already to the top of the...

I have been tinkering with the .32 Long Colt for about a year now for my Marlin 1892. Did you get your cases and boolits from "Tenmile" on Gunbroker? I use his boolits and some of his cases, along...

This one was made just...

New guy here.
