If I recall correctly 1.614 works in my Marlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Are you loading them 'as-cast' then?... OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Savvy Jack likes to experiment, but not cast so much, so he sent me his custom Accurate Mold and I cast up a batch for him. His 2 cavity reminded me of why I like 5-6 cavity molds! It did make some nice bullets though, like all Accurate Molds do, in my experience.

I need to spend a little less time"experimenting" and a bit more time casting....but I HATE CASTING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savvy Jack Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 That load didn't work out too good for the Marlin. Here are some other loads as well (200gr Laser Cast Magma and 200gr Swaged Magma design)@ 100 yards...for those that enjoy the side matches.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 It's been my experience that .44 mag Marlins like the heavier bullets. I forget what Marlin used for a ROT of the .44CB. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
