[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1289304, member: 25383"] somewhat incorrect. Yes the older guns are loaded at lower chamber pressures, but a typical Marlin can be loaded to about 38K to 40K psi. The Ruger #3 and #1 along with some bolt guns can be loaded even higher. I would think a modern 1885 Hi-Wal would be able to take the same pressures than a bolt gun could being as the action is stronger. Range wise, I've seen Sharps rifles in 45-70 and some other wildcats shoot 800+ yards very accurately. Also seen the Marlins and one Winchester 1886 shoot 600+ yards accurately. gary P.S. get ahold of an Accurate Powder manual, and start with it. [/QUOTE]
