Wonder if 190 jacketed bullets would work with this gr. ThanksIn my Super 14 .35 Remington barrel, I was shooting a 190gr. gas check flat nose cast bullet over 8-10gr. Unique. Mild and fun.
Interested please let me know as I have 180 jacketed soft points .I have reloaded for my contender 35 barrel, usually 180gr sp bullets but not really reduced loads. I can check to see what the loads were if you are interested.
Thanks just wanting to see what’s out there the 44/70 is 16”My Marlin 20inch barrel loads:
41.0 Varget, Speer 180 at 2140fps, using rifle primers.
32.5 Reloader #7, Speer 180 at 2150fps, using rifle primers.
18.9 2400, with a Matt’s Bullets cast Gas Checked 205 at 1611fps, using Wolf pistol Primers.
These all shoot well. The Varget load is the best in my rifle, but I think the other two loads might be better in the short contender barrel.
