Gentlemen
Finally got yard leave and went to the range with the new 7.5" SBH and the Marlin 1894. Lotsa fun.
The 7.5 gr Unique w/255 gr Keith in 44 special case puts 3 in 1" at 25 yds. Stopped at 3 cause 5 might cause messup. Nice SBH load.
10 gr of Unique in mag case with Keith boolit does about 2" for 6 shots from the Marlin w/a red dot scope. Right snappy in the SBH.
Now for the question(s). Need to be about 950 - 1000 fps w/Unique w/mag case in the SBH, same boolit. Any thoughts on charge?
I have an older NEI 220 gr TC bevel base mold that makes 229 gr boolits and would like to develop a 1000 to 1100 load for the SBH and whatever it does in the Marlin. The boolit will accept a Hornady GC, with a liitle extra work if the Marlin gets over about 1600, which I kinda doubt.
All this is for deer and Mr piggy.
