A question about Marlin Lever guns

[skeet]

Some of the bullets are boughten..some I cast. Tried harder and softer..softer 459s shoot the best but still not great. My Marlin 30-30 shoots 309s pretty good..larger not so well as the chamber must be tight necked. I think I am going to buy the 1895 Cowboy gun..Longer bbl and heavier gun..Just don't like safeties on my Lever guns. I have lead for casting in ingots already checked for hardness and I do heat treat some but not all bullets. My 444 shoots lead fairly well too and I also use the 429421 bullet but out of a 4 hole mould. That thing sucks the lead out of my ol SAECO pot

Well I went and bought the Marlin 1895 Cowboy gun.. I thought that thing would be heavier than it is...the bbl is 26 inches and a full mag tube. Got to get it out and shoot it..It really is a nice rifle. One thing that is wrong..it is not drilled and tapped for a receiver sight..darn it..but I guess I could get that done. I like peeps. And on another note..I bought a Dillon 550B from a fellow and he drug out a few guns to sell. One is the 1894C Marlin in 357 and the other was a Ruger New Model Blackhawk 357 in stainless(gag) the third was a Colt 22 Mag Buntline revolver.. last but not least was a 1897 Winchester in 16 ga..Have no use for one of them...especially in 16. Like to have had the Colt but didn't have nuff cash to get 'em all..so I boughten the Marlin and Ruger.. The Ruger came with a really nice Cowboy holster rig.. Haven't even looked to see who made it but it ain't a cheap one!! I also bought 9 boxes of 357 factory ammo for 90 bucks or so..those will be sold at the next gun show The Colt was a nice gun but boy it had a LOOOONNNNGGG bbl. Not messing with the Colts all that much I don't know the value..he wanted 250 for it...same as the 2 I bought. I got to stop buyin all these things I really do like..but don't need.
