Does anyone see a problem with the Subject conversion? I asked this of SSK and JD responded that "I will have to try one someday but see no reason why it wouldn't work".
This cartridge is available in the Contender so a Marlin should be able to handle it as well. Assuming you used the 444 or 45-70 receiver for the base it seems that feeding shouldn't be a problem. Seems like the data I've seen claims a 220gr bullet at about 2200 fps out of a Contender. I wonder what a 20" barrel would produce?
I know there are other rounds that will meet or exceed these ballistics but that's wha makes a horse race...
