[QUOTE="Roadking Larry, post: 3672672, member: 2833"] I have several 336s and a couple of 1894s with the micro-groove rifling. I shoot cast lead almost exclusively out of all of them. Yes, when I first started with cast bullets I learned how to clean lead out of badly leaded bores. The key to cast in a micro-groove is bullet size. I size to .310 for .30-30 and .360 for .357/.38 and .454 for .45 Colt. Use a good lube and leading is not an issue if you keep velocity to appropriate levels. I am not saying Ballard rifling isn't better, just that micro-groove gets an undeserved bad rap. [/QUOTE]
