[QUOTE="Roadking Larry, post: 1127995, member: 2833"] Didn't catch this one before. My experience with .38 spec/.357mag in a Marlin 1894C. I shoot almost exclusively cast through it, with the Lee 158gr RNFP bevel base bullet. It is a 1980 vintige making it a Micro-groove barrel. The #1 cure and solution to leading is bullet to bore fit in these rifles. If you match your bullet diameter to bore size leading is just not a problem as long as you keep velocities within cast bullet parameters, I have pushed this bullet to 1900 fps with no noticeable leading, accuracy went to crap but it didn't lead up. Accuracy with cast bullets out of marlin micro-groove barrels can be just as good or better than with jacketed bullets. [/QUOTE]
