Marlin Lever Action XLR S/S series Rifles

[SharonAnne]

I am VERY impressed with your groups. They would do any bolt action hunting rifle proud. For a lever action they are amazing!

i think its got a lot to do with Hand Loading our own instead of buying factory stuff.. and making sure every round has the exact same amount of power down to the last 10th of a grain & the bullet sitting down with an over all length of 2.540, we check every bullet after loading it to make sure and the fact its a Marlin 1895 XLR 24" Ballard Barrel dont hurt either ;} i am very impressed with my rifle. money well spent i recon..

well ive just asked for some samples for GOLD MATCH MAGNUM 405grain RNFP .459 Dia 45-70 GOVT Projectiles so ill see if they print as good as the Remington 405gr JSP

[Lloyd Smale]

those super duper premium gold match bullets look supisiously like gas checked cast bullets that have been nothing but tumble lubed and they didnt even put the gas checks on.

Well we went out today and shot some of these WESTCASTINGS PREMIUM GRADE PROJECTILES
