My 1895 Marlin with microgroove just wouldn't shoot cast lead..sold it and got a Cowboy gun with Ballard rifling and it works just fine with cast. Just acquired another 444 Marlin. Going to try it out with cast bullets see how it is. The first one I had seemed to shoot lead ok..but it has been a while. Going to try some cast in the Savage/ Stevens 340 30-30. See how it does. Only 30-30 lever gun I have is a new 1894 Win Commemorative(Lone Star) with 26 inch 1/2 round 1/2 octagon bbl pistol grip stock..Ugly as sin..Bright brass plated receiver..ugh
