Got a chance to pick up a Marlin 1894 in 357 mag. The price is so right I am having a hard time walking away. It is a pre-Remington but post-cross bolt. Of course it has the micro groove barrel. I am a bit gunshy about this (no punn intended) since sears ago I had one in 44 mag that couldn't stay on a pie plate at 100 yds regardless of the jacketed bullet. With lead 44 specials, it about duplicated the accuracy of my wrist rocket. Should I expect the same with this one. What kind of accuracy has anyone had with lead reloads and over the counter lead 38 specials? That would probably be its main diet.
