[QUOTE="Deleted member 3883, post: 1443848, member: 3883"] They are .458 I haven't had occasion to shoot anything else through this gun but 405gr JSP's. My father in law had a 250ct box of the cast bullets and he sent them to me to "play with". [URL="http://www.kifaruforums.net/showthread.php?15314-Load-Data-Marlin-1895-Guide-Gun"]This[/URL] website shows some Brian Pearce loads (in the last post on the page) using 405 grain Cast Performance LFN GC bullets. He is showing 42gr of RE7 as giving ~1600fps. I started out loading 40gr and backed that down to 36gr...so maybe 1400-1500fps. Thats just a WAG, I have a chronograph, but it is a hassle to get out at the range during the time that everybody is sighting in their deer rifles (that was the last time I shot it). Yeah, that is the plan depending on what the slug measures out to be. I would be all for using a gas check if that will prevent the leading, but if it is just a matter or buying the correctly sized bullet for this rifle and I can shoot lead without the gas check that would be fine too.
