Marshall,
Thanks for the info. I am ready to make another buy of Beartooth Bullets and will take your advice and order the 210 grain in .359".
I am also going to order some 250 grain FNGC for my new Marlin 1894S with ballard type cut rifling. Will the Marlin with a rifling twist rate of 1 in 38" stabilize the 280 or 290 grain FNGC bullets?
According to your writings you recommend .432" bullets for Marlins with micro-groove rifling. Does that hold true for ballard type cut rifling?
In addition, I am going to start shooting cast bullets in my 1906 6.5 x 55 Swedish mauser (Husquavarna). Should I get them in .265" or .266" diameter?
Thanks again.

6.5 X 55
Hello Chris,
I have heard of other European 6.5mm's, especially the Italian Carcano, that slug as high as .269" or .270". I will take your advise and slug the barrel.
I made an error in the spelling of Husqvarna but made an even bigger error describing my Swede. It is a Carl Gustav and not a Husqvarna. I have another Swedish mauser that is an unaltered Husqvarna. I should have looked at the receiver ring before initating this post.
Get your 4 year old one of the little (tiny) youth .22's like the Henry and take him/her to the range with you. I have two girls (no boys) that I started out shooting when they were 5 years old. The younger daughter took to it like a duck takes to water. She is now 30 years old and can outhunt and outshoot most men, especially on the sporting clays range. The other daughter, age 33, does not care for hunting but handles her Glock 23 pretty darn good.
Sorry I got a little off the subject. Now I am going to open my tackel box and see if I can find some .270"-.280" lead sinkers, some lithium grease and slug the barrel.

Buy American
Chris I also "Buy American" whenever possible and bought the "made in japan" Browning BLR in .358 Winchester because Marlin no longer makes the 336ER in .356 Winchester.
Today I was reading an article about binoculars in the Septemper 2003 issue of "GUNS" magazine. They were testing $200-$400 8X products from Nikon (Japan), I.O.R. Valdada (Romania), Pentax (Japan), Steiner (Germany), and Leupold's Wind River (Japan). What wasn't surprising is that there were no American made binoculars tested. What was surprising is that Leupold offers a product that is made in Japan. I always thought better of a company that continually claims "MADE IN AMERICA". I hunt and target shoot with Leupold scopes but now I am not completely sure if they are 100% American made.
