After reading about Larry Gibson's enthusiasm for the Lee TL314-90-swc in .30 calibre rifles I have been trialling various combinations.

Out at my little range today with the Winchester 1894 rather than the Marlin 336 and the Win 94 loved the TL314-90-swc. This rifle is a pre-64 with Lyman aperture sights. The boolit is lubed with LLA/mineral spirits, sized to .311 and re-lubed. The only annoying part is that the Lee boolit seating die will not dial down far enough to seat the boolit - I have been seating them with a Lee Loader kit. Pat303 stated that he ground down a die to get the little 90grain SWC to seat.
So very happy with this for a light boolit. There is little recoil, it feels like a 22 magnum, just a slight more recoil than a 22LR. Will be great for new shooters. As per the image the Marlin spreads this a bit more at 50metres. The lower group is the Lee 309-150-F. It is shot without a GC as a plinking load. I have some GC coming so will retest with the GC and expect the group to tighten.
