I have a Marlin Guide Gun, that I have never done anything with. My understanding is factory ammo is not very much fun out of it. For me, it will be nothing more than a toy, or maybe a pig gun. All that said, I did pick up some dies and brass. I have been thinking lead, but more likely coated lead. When I had the action slicked, I had the bore slugged. The slug measures 0.457.
What are your thoughts on coated hard cast (21 brinnell) 405 gr 0.458 bullets? Do you have a light pet load (usual caveats, and I will compare to published loads) in the 1000-1200 fps range? Subsonic is OK. Anything particular to straight wall rifle cases (I do load straight wall pistol a lot)?
As always, thanks for the information!
