This bullet is dropping out almost .432. This should be good for my micro groove 1894 Marlin. This bullet does not give me the Marlin jam as its long enough but it sometimes has a slight hang up that is easily worked. I have some loaded with 8.6 grains unique and looking for a plinking load that will not lead. My older Lyman manual lists 13.0 grains Unique as max and as a accuracy load but that is almost 1600 FPS! It hard to believe it wont lead a micro groove barrel. My bullets are water dropped wheel weights. Its raining here right now so I wont go to the range today. What combo is working for you guys? thanks ahead of time.
