So, I made the mistake of stopping by a gunshop the other day and walked out with a used Marlin Cowboy in 38-55. The original owner shortened the magazine so it now only holds four in the tube. Nice rifle, but I really like the full length mags. But for the price I couldn't pass it up. Last weekend I cast up 100+ Lee 250gr .379 bullets and loaded them over 10gr Unique and 17gr 2400 into fireformed 30-30 brass. I use these same loads in a 375 Marlin and Contender with good results. At 70 yards the 2400 printed 1.8" and the Unique printed 2.0". A fun gun to shoot and well worth $500.
