I got my stuff together to load a Marlin 44 mag. Since the tang is not drilled and tapped for a tang sight, I was lucky to catch a sale at Midway--the Williams FP receiver sight and 2, different height fire sights for about $52.
I have a box of swaged bullets. In effect, they are not lubed. Being swaged, they are smooth.
The question is, can or should I load these bullets for the rifle? If all of you say I need lubed bullets, then these are a waste. I am concerned about no lube and leading.
I paln to start with 2400 powder but want to try American Pionee 3f also.
Thanks----have a safe, happy, and healthy new year.
