    Hickok,
    Would you mind sharing your load data? I'm concerned I created an over-pressure situation with the 10 gr of Unique and lead stripping in the barrel.

    New Ruger Marlin 1894 questions

    What is the bore diameter of the new Marlin 1894 .44 Mag? Did they use the rifle SAAMI specs or the handgun SAAMI bore specs? I’d like to be able to shoot .430 Cast.
