Anyone tried the 359640 in a Marlin 1894c?
I am hoping for a load that works well in 38 special cases as I have thousands of them but only a few hundred maggies.

Will the bullet cycle when loaded in a mag case? The 35710 RD shoots well but is too long in the nose to cycle thru the action. I know I can modify the carrier but peter not to.

Wow. Old thread, no replies.

What did you end-up going with?

It is awesome in a mag case. Needs to be careful with OAL or else it wont cycle.
That bullet in the hollowpoint form over 13 to 13.5 gr of WC 820 gives just over 1600 fps and is accurate as I need.
Never have I shot a load that tears apart a bowling pin like that one. 10 shots is about all a pin can take before it is in pieces.
I can't recommend that mould enough.
