CCI Blazer Ammunition 357 MAG 158GR JHP

Is this aluminum case stuff safe in a Marlin lever? I wonder if the higher energy generated will cause problems in a long gun. Anyone use it?

[Duff L Bagg]

It is perfectly safe in your marlin. so go make holes in something and report back with the results!

[Hobie]

Safe, yes, but sometimes it might be iffy on extraction in a particular gun which is why it isn't recommended for the leverguns. Try a few rounds before you try to run the gun at race speeds.

The .44 Magnum stuff I have works just fine in my Marlins but wouldn't feed very well in my Rossi 92's

I bought a case of the stuff back when it was $14/ a box. Most of it has gone through my 94P.

I've used it in my Win 94AE .45 Colt and it fed, fired, and extracted-ejected just fine. But it doesn't have an extractor grove so some rifles might not like it.

I've used several boxes of the 44mag in my levers without a problem. But, like Hobie said, just give them a try first.

[Old Savage]

Works fine in mine.
