    Marlin 94 and Ranch Dog 265's

    Loaded some Ranch Dog 265's sized .433 over 22 of 296. Groups opened after 3 shots as barrel heated. I may need to sand the forearm. Target is at 100 yards with a Nikon 2x7. I think I can tighten the group if I take a long time between shots.

    Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.

    Pretty good shooting for a short lever action. I had 2 1894's awhile back, a .357 and .44 mag, the .44 would shoot rings around the .357. They both shoot very good but the .44 always shot better.

    I use that bullet, sized .433, for my Marlin 1894 also. Mine prefers Alliant 2400 powder.

    That’s a good combo. I have that mold too. Your gun is more than ready to hunt.
