Just picked up a nice used Marlin 1895GBL and ordered up some of these commercial cast bullets. Locking for some suggested starting loads. Will be using Starline brass.

24 gr of 2400 will do well. Should be around 1350 fps, accurate, and mild in recoil.

My Marlin really shoots well with 36 grains of H4198 and 415 grn bullets. I figure it to be 1500 fps.

Mine loves a healthy charge of Varget. That's what I use for my hunting loads. 400gr of lead at 1800fps is no slouch! Very accurate to boot out of my 1895GS

2400 is a nice one to use for easy shootin loads as suggested.

I use about 45 grains of 3031 for a mid-range load. Still has some heat but doesn't knock the snot out of you.

12-15 gr of Unique is a nice mild load, cheap, too.

3031 will work good, much less recoil feel then 4198. Varget is great too.

Make sure the bullet is big enough. I had a hard time in my Marlin with bought'n boolits as the were way to small in diameter!
