I have a Garand in 30-06 (1943 SA production), the Lee .309 200 grain bullet mold, the Lee 160 grain pointy .311 mold (the one designed for the 7.62x39), A Schuster gas plug, 4895 and 4064 powder. ...

My .357 Marlin really likes the 125 grain semi-jacketed hollowpoints on top of a max charge of Win296. Wicked fast velocities from that load result in extremely entertaining total target...

My SKS likes the Lee 160 grain bullet and 14.5 grains of 2400.

I've tried the Tap-O-Cap, even found some decent paper caps to try in them. Still couldn't get better than 30% actually working. I've heard that if you use the heads off strike anywhere matches for...

I wish my family was as in tune as yours!
I've never met a rifle that didn't like a RANCH DOG boolit!

If it ever gets to the point that lead is banned, it is well past the time to start "giving our lead back to the government"!!!!!!

My M95/34 has a .328" bore and shoots the Lee .329" bullet on top of 19 grains of 2400 very accurately!

i've gone up to 1.614 in my Marlin 1894 in .357....
I went to using .32 H&R brass after giving up on the .32-20 brass, because the 32-20 brass rims are too thick and kept jamming up the rotating cylinder. I size the cases in my Lee 7.62 Nagant sizer...

I was referring to the 1894 in .357/38, since that is what the current topic is about.

Marlin got rid of the microgroove barrel years ago, if you are looking for a new gun, you don't need to worry about that!
Forum: Leverguns
My Marlin 1894 in 38/357 is probably the gun that I shoot the most, and I have lots of guns! I got it about three or four years ago, and it has already seen well over a thousand rounds, if not a...
I have the same gun, and i shot it with the same boolit at the range this weekend. I used 17 grains of 2400. The pressure was still low enough to get sooty cases, but the accuracy at 100 yards was...
I've never had a Lee mold that made boolits that were larger than advertised. The regular production Lee molds that I have throw the boolits right at their advertised value down to .001" smaller. ...
The tip about going over each vent line has got to be some kind of sick joke. There has got to be over a million vent lines in a Lee 6-holer, which would make days, if not weeks, worth of work to...
I would be interested in this one as a 6 holer. Three of those boolits in a .357 mag does sound like a lot of fun!
You could also try blackpowder if you want decent velocity with tolereable pressures. The Ruger New Vaquero is stronger than the original Colt SAA, which originally used a 255-ish grain bullet on...

I know that the M1 Garands do not like slower powders with j-words and full-house velocities, and some slower poders work good with cast bullets, so, I was wondering if wc860 is one of those slower...
I use 3 grains of bullseye in my .32's. It works great for me!

I have been using Lee ALox tumble lube on my gas check bullets for several years now. I cast the bullet, tumble lube in alox, then size and cgas check it, then tumble lube in alox again. It works...

Nah, the scrap yard idea isn't so great. What most people (as well as scrap yards) consider to be tin is really galvanized steel, and that won't help you at all....

I use the Lee REAL in my Euroarms 1861 Springfield musket, and it works great! I can shoot it all afternoon without cleaning the barrel, and when propelled by 70 grains of FFF it absolutely...
