hi to all
yet another question about the .357 magnum cartridge.
now and then i got the chance to fire a marlin lever gun at the range and i buy the ammo at the range. now the thing that puzzles me is that i can also shoot
my smith revolver with the same ammo as they only have one brand.
so the difference is my 4"barrel versus the 20"barrel of the marlin.
ive looked into the reloadingmanual , lyman 49th edition , and found there to
be 3 different parts, so for rifle , handgun , and tc contender.
so , am i overstressing the marlin gun when i shoot it with the factory ammo ?
can i safely shoot the marlin if i was to reload according the handgun table ?
an example right out the book :
handgun : 170 gr cast bullet , 4.1 gr bullseye powder 813 ft / sec 4"barrel.
rifle: exact same bullet , 8.3 gr bleu dot powder 1338 ft / sec 20 "barrel.
do i have the same choice with factory ammo?
like to hear from you... greetings from holland !
