I haven't researched dates, but wasn't 2400 powder made for the Hornet? Does the pull down powder look anything like that?

I don't remember which was first, but I bought Lyman molds for the .45 Colt and the .44 mag.... IIRC, the 44 mag was a 429421, and I'm pretty sure it was a single cavity.

I've never seen that much variation in bullets after sizing them... the only time I get variance is when the bullets are under sized for the sizer die.

speaking of googly.... I did that, and found that Mythbusters has studied a lot of different calibers fired into water.... apparently the slower, fatter rounds penetrated best, but that 6 to 8 feet...

I used Lil Gun some in my K-Hornet. IIRC, 13.5 gr was lightly compressed.
I heard online (MUST be true, then) that some guys basically filled up the case and compressed a bullet into it. THEY...
That's one of the big selling points for LilGun.... top velocities, with considerably lower pressure.

The Marlins all seem to start around $800 or so, and that's for the plain jane, run of the mill 336's.... the 1895's are way higher than that, usually $1500 and up.
Henry's are around $800-ish. ...
