[QUOTE="SArnold30, post: 2945932, member: 113697"] I’ve used Barnes in several other rifles, but this is my first time using them in my 45-70 (Marlin 1895 GBL). Currently using the 300 gr TSX FB and working up charges with IMR 4227. Using the minimum load of 38.5 gr, when I seat to the recommended COL per the Barnes manual (2.515”) the bullet appears to me that it’s too deep in the case and just doesn’t look right to me. If they’re seated to the cannelure then they’re about .300” inches over max case length, so I don’t think that’s the solution either. Anyone have experience with these? The two I’ve loaded so far chamber fine and I’ve included a photo of them. I don’t want to load anymore until I contact Barnes tomorrow. Or is this the normal appearance for these? [/QUOTE]
