Cowboy Junky Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just bought a 1893 Marlin and of course I can't find any brass.......If any has any 38-55 "long" brass 2.125 they want to sell I would love to have some. 50 would be nice but any amount would be GREAT as I need to start the process of grooming some loads. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You might want to reconsider the "long" brass. Lever guns usually take a shorter load than a single shot. My Marlin won't cycle the longer loads. I use brass trimmed to 2.085 with an OAL loaded of 2.460. .379 dia 385 gr lead. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coconino Pistolero, SASS # 72432 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have some twice fired brass: 20 Imperial (Canadian-eh) 7 Winchester 2 Starline All of these are the shorter brass. My H&R and the 1894 likes the longer brass so I do not need these. $14 shipped via flat rate box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
