I have been trying to find some loads that both my Marlin 1894 FG and my Ruger Blackhawks like. Since my Blackhawks seem to like just about everything I turned my focus to the Marlin. In the past the only load it really liked was a 170 gr Seirra bullet pushed really fast. But I couldn't find a lead ...

Just think what that would do to the value
of what folks around here have stashed.

I had one that repeatedly broke firing pins.
Gave it away.

Maybe they are reworking them.
Maybe the didn't sell well enough.

Second Most Accurate Marlin I have owned was a 336C in 35 Remington. I put a Weaver K6 on it and clover-leafed groups at 50 yards week-in and week-out. I never shot it with cast bullets. Gave it to a widow lady and her sons for hunting deer. They haven't gone hungry. I did shoot some regular 357 - 1...

5th August 2008 --- St Pete, Florida All 22 ammo prices at Walmart increased 15% today. Bummer. Should have stocked up last week. I was actually inline to make a purchase, then got a call for help and left. Went back today and the prices were all 15% higher. Manager said better stock up, she expects...

I melt laser-cast bullets into roundballs.

With a tight patch they shoot the same as pure lead.

Recovered patches look beautiful.

Well...you can't help but long for this kind of honesty in politicians again..... When President Truman retired from office in 1952, his income was substantially a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking the...

hmmm

What part of "Shall not be infringed" isn't getting through?

45-70 sure do seem to be very accurate rifles. But I can't help but remembering John Wayne's character ridiculing Glen Cambell's character in "True Grit" everytime I think about getting one. Now if the Post was titled "The Two Best Values for Serious Outdoorsmen" I'd have to agre...

Very well written article. Thanks for sharing.

An old (70s) article claims there is no better buttplate for quick shots than the cresent. I personally love em. I shoot em like KirkD showed in his thread. All are carbines including my muzzleloader and they do shoulder really quickly and consistently for me.

Looks like Walmart IS getting out of the firearm sales business.

Dunno, but I do know TR left the Presidency and went on Safari in Africa.
Slick Willy left the Presidency and went to Harlem and ate Fried Chicken.

Just a thought.

41_Marlin

I need to try and make it.

I hear Lakeland puts on one of the best shows around.

41_Marlin

Your numbers agree with what I have.
I see no problem with those limits for starters.

If Griff comes to Florida, we will have to have a shootin event.

Yepper April 8th 1935 S&W formally released the 357 Magnum.

Course it took em until 1964 to get it perfect with the 41 Magnum.

I think we should all go shootin to celebrate.

If ya find a good cast load for yer Marlin I'd love to hear about it. Right now I just shoot 170 gr Sierra's loaded with 21.7 gr Win 296. I can usually keep the holes touching at 50 yds. The same bullet on top of 7.5 gr Unique is a good quiet bunny tumbler. Usually groups around 1 inch at 50 yards. ...

Some old timer target shooters turned me on to Aguila Standard Velocity . Shoots like a dream. I now order it by the case. Eley primers and nice price. You won't find it locally probably. But the importer can hook you up. It's worth the effort. CENTURION ORDNANCE, INC. 11614 Rainbow Ridge Helotes, T...

Find a needy kid and give it to them.

They will be tickled, you won't need to look at it anymore.

I've done it in the past, always makes me happy.

Cast Receiver. Nice Casting. Never seen one that wasn't very smooth.
Nice wood.
Marble Sights.
Very responsive customer service.

Barrel is pinned to the receiver. No crown on the barrel.

Some shoot far better than others.

I bought one and GAVE it away.

I for one like the sight hoods. But then again I also like the safety, much quieter releasing the safety then cocking the trigger. Course I hunt up close in the deep south.

Ok Ok I'm freaky. But at least I'm freaky FOR Leverguns, particularly Marlins.

41_Marlin

I only own one rifle. Marlin 1894 Fg.
Works so well, I don't think I need a second.

Never under estimate a man with one gun.

Yeppers, happens way too often. State of Floirda passed two laws. 1. If the range was there first too bad. 2. If the range has an EPA approved lead management program you can't sue for enviromental purposes. Courts won't even hear your case. My club was smart. We built near the dump, which has now b...

If you haven't tried Aguila Standard Velocity, you should try some.
Eley Primers, Very Economically priced.

What I like about guns aka Shooting Sports is: 1. It's the only sport that doesn't discriminate. Old, young, fat, slim, weak, strong, tall, short, male, female, race, religion, ... doesn't matter. 2. Shooting well requires a great deal of discipline, and in my book discipline along with honesty and ...

I guess now we know why Marlin puts all the extra wood in their stocks.

Glad to see they left the Bull's Eye in place.

On a Bowen I'd bet yer cylinders and gap mike out very uniform. My guess is you've got some powder position differences. Shake each cartridge and verify the stuff is loose in all the cartridges and then shoot em all the same, either coming down from above or up from below. I've experienced similar t...
