    Well, as a hunting round it wasn't the equal of the .45's or 50's, but what it did do was turn the 86 into a people shooter. An 1880's .223.

    I did a bit of research on them when I got mine. 1948 is the introductory year for the 336A, IIRC. The .35 was added to the line in 1950. Marling went to Microgroove rifling around 1955 or so, but...

    Below 30% humidity, BP fouling is essentially inert. That is NOT the case w/ some subs. (glares at Pyrodex). Goex 2F gives lower pressure, slighty lower velocity, and more (but softer) fouling...

    Rodwha, for brass frame you are thinking in the wrong direction. Instead of hotter powders, try 2F. Shoots great in my .36's, and with brass frames, low pressure is your friend.

    The LeMatt is just another .44 that holds a few extra shots. The Trantor /Webley in .577 would generate it's own market. 8) I wouldn't even care if they were single-action only.

    Lapping will fix it, if done right. May take a couple of hours, but it will work. It cuts the grooves deeper too. Real lapping, not fire lapping.
