They can use Marlin load levels. I asked the company and thats what they said.

I have had 3 1894 Marlins in 357 in the past. I bought a new one in 357 and it shoots great and I think the fit and finish is as good or better than the old ones. The new ones are really well built.

I bought one yesterday, Really nice gun. Haven't fired it yet but feeds semi wadcutters in 38 and 357 no problems. I had 2 of the jm marlins and they would not feed them. Ruger did a great job on...
I have the cva scout in 45-70. I emailed cva and asked them what pressure rating it was and they said Marlin range.

I have had a few Marlin 45-70s and enjoyed them. A good read is Paul Matthews book, 40 years with the 45-70. He talks about a few of them.

My new 45-70 is just like doghawg said. Beautiful rifle.

I agree, I have had Ruger no.1 and 3 rifles. I was after the Marlin loads, I wanted to be sure it would handel them safely. I use the black powder velocity loads for practice and the lower marlin...

I bought a 20" 357 mag. About 6 months ago. Love this gun. Did some action smoothing and shorten the mag spring. Got it on gunbroker, you should find one there.
Forum: Leverguns
Take the 357 one day then the 30-30 the next. I have killed deer with both. Put your shot where it belongs, no problem.

I retired almost 3 years ago. I needed a light, low recoiling rifle. Arthritis in my hands also is a problem. A few months ago I bought a Rossi 92 in 357 with a 20" barrel. I love this gun, cheap to...

Congratulations, I bought the same rifle 3 weeks ago and love it!

357 mag. Lower recoil is good. Arthritis can be a pain. Place that shot good, dead deer. 158 grain cast swc gas check with 15.0 grains of 2400 is my favorite load for my blackhawk and Rossi 92.

Better to get a older lyman book as the 49th edition doesn't have many of the 2400 or unique. I have the 46th edition and it has quit a few.
Battling the same problem myself at 62. I am selling my 1911 because of weight and recoil. My wrist and thumb hurt after a short time of shooting. I bougtht a Ruger p345 as it is much lighter than...
