  • In this and your other videos you say your getting 1500fps out of your 10in barrel with is 240gr Lyman 429421 bullet without leading with your lube. If I were to get another 300-400fps from a 20in Marlin rifle barrel, would I get leading in your opinion. Would you change the lube mixture? How? Any other recommendations? Thanks.

  • @300UMLRH Might get a stuck bullet....be careful

  • Thats wat I will do thanks ammosmith u never fail to help me out

  • @spritrocks No...thank you for watching!

  • Would seating the bullet deeper cause more pressure?I heard some semi-wad cutters won't cycle as good in lever guns

  • @spritrocks Yes pressure does go up so you'll need to reduce the load and work up again. See if you can get a slug and make a dummy so you can action proof test it.

  • @ammosmith Just shooting the same loading for my revolver out of a longer rifle length barrel will get an extra 200-400fps. Is there a change in mix of the bullet or lube that would make it any less of a leading or safety problem? Or do I just need to go to gas checks or jacketed bullets? Or decrease the charge? Thanks.

  • @spritrocks Check what the OAL should be for the Marlin. You have some latitude on seating depth.

  • Thanks ammosmith I was thinking about buying the 300 grain swc mold from Lyman but not sure if it would cycle thru my marlin lever action in 44 mag

  • I'll spray them win WD40 and store in a steel ammo can. Then I'll decrease it with acetone or boil I in soapy water then cast again.
