Picked up an early JM Marlin 1895CB today.
Planning on using it for a few local silhouette matches.
Will run it with black powder.
What would be a good choice for bullets? I currently have both a lyman 385 grn and 405 grn mold. Lightest 45 molds I have on hand.
I use the 405 grn in my rolling block with 68 grns of black powder, that rifle likes that load.
Never tried the 385 grn, wondering if that might be a better one for the marlin with the silhouettes? Longest shot would be out to 200 meters.
New to the rifle and the silhouette game with a lever gun.
