GB, I should have been more specific in that I am aware of the length of bullet issue with the 500 grain (which is why the 500 grain cast is not normally listed for the Marlin) working the load up etc... And, the load that I have developed seats the bullet deeply enough that it feeds properly etc... I was just curious if anybody knows of published data for a 500 grain cast bullet in either the Marlin or Sharps actions... All of the data that I have for cast bullets stops short of 500 grains...Graybeard said:
In answer to your question, I prefer to remain below 1400 fps, and normally use either IMR 3031, Unique, or 2400 for my various cast bullet loads for my 1895SS, but again, I have a load, just curious if there is any published data floating around ... Thanks Dave[/color]
