[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2706321, member: 69192"] I tried different powders, only to find that the IMR 4198 gave the best groups. This is not a hot load by any means, but for our vintage 1895 Marlins it works well and performs well. I was loading a stouter load, then asked, "How dead does an animal have to be??" There was no reason to have a hot load in a lever gun in my opinion, especially something that is 40-50 years old. I found the 300gr TSX FB bullet to be a good choice for the hunting that we do.
