I've had an earlier marlin model 94 ( 1905 ish ) for about as long as I can remember .
And I've never fired a single shot threw it . Part of it has been my aversion to buying factory ammo and the expense of setting up to load and cast for a new caliber. Mostly it's just the same old story of ... I'll get to it some day .
Spring is getting close it's time to turn it from a safe queen to a shooter .
I'd like to hear what you guys are using for bullets ... weight , style , plain base or gas checked . And maybe a little bit about why it worked for you .
I do plan on cutting my own mold for this so if someone's willing to send a few samples I'd be very appreciative to that as well .
I haven't slugged my bore yet , but if you have a marlin of the same vintage I'd like to know it's dimensions just to compare with mine .
