If you prefer a lighter weight bullet Hornady 240 grain JHP's are very accurate bullets, xlnt hunting bullets, and will feed very well out of your gun.Īnd for loaded ammo the Hornady custom 240 grain Xtp's are rated at 1350 fps out of a pistol barrel and will do about 1650 fps out of an 18 inch barrel and even more out of a 20 inch barrel. The Speer 270 grain hot-core is also a good bullet. Your post sounded so focused on efficiency that you may be missing some fun in your shooting.Ĭlick to expand.Congratulations on getting a REAL pre-2011 Marlin! If you reload, the Hornady 265 grain flatpoint will cycle flawlessly through your gun and is a very effective game bullet. 45 Colt in an 1987 Beaumont I never would otherwise been able to fire, and may get around to doing roughly the same for an 1873 Mauser and a Vetterly which, unfortunately, still has a double rimfire firing pin. giving people with less than perfect health better stability to shoot well.ĥ. providing a bit extra power, range or practical accuracy.ģ. being able to hunt in areas where handguns are limited/prohibited for that.Ģ. Still, the advantages of shooting a pistol caliber cartridge out of a rifle may includeġ. Used to shoot it out of an American Derringer, and that, too, was fun.
410 out of my handguns, a Taurus Judge and a single shot Masterpiece derringer. I had given up hope of finding an older Marlin in 44 w/o going through Gunbroker.Īctually, I take advantage of the ability to use the same ammunition in different firearms. I had been looking into what model of new rifle to buy, but was still undecided. I have been enjoying shooting the fat bullets. I have bought Ruger DA revolvers in 44 Special and 44 magnum recently. I will load some flat nose jacketed bullets before I take it to the range today. I tried cycling some of my lead semi wad cutter reloads through it, but they hang up going into the chamber. I looked at it for a couple minutes before saying I'll buy it. It was the guy's personal gun used for hog hunting and is in far from perfect condition. I asked the guy who runs the area about the date it was manufactured and he said 1979.
This was the first used pre-Remington Marlin lever action in a pistol caliber that I remember seeing at a LGS. I spotted a 1894 Marlin in 44 magnum on the rack. I saw a nice stainless CZ 75 B, but soon forgot about it. There are always some high end rifles and shotguns to look at. Yesterday, I stopped by the Cabela's gun library (used guns) like I always do when I am in the store.
