Bullets for Lever Actions
« on: February 07, 2005, 10:50:19 AM »
I just ordered 2 boxes of Miester cast bullets for my 32-20 and 25-20 Lever guns and was wondering if anyone has used these bullets and how did you like them and the  :wink: loads used?

Two things I demand in a cast bullet for lever actions are, a well defined crimping canular and hardness.  Both are to prevent the bullet from being pushed into the case during cycling.  Meister bullets qualify on both requirements.  I have used them in .44-40 and .45/70.

I have a Marlin 1894CL in .25-20.  Please post your results with the Meister cast bullets.
