Hello, I mentioned in another post that I've been considering a 44 caliber levergun. Another rifle that I kind of keep an eye out for is the Marlin Cowboy 336. I understand the 38-55 has a groove diameter of .379 or so, but the only jacketed bullets I've seen have a diameter of .375. Do these shoot OK in this rifle? This seems like a very interesting caliber, but I would like to be able to shoot cast OR jacketed bullets. Does anyone have experience with this rifle? I'd like to hear some first-hand reports before I plunk down my money. I could always go with the 30-30, which I really enjoy, but the 38-55 would be a NEW toy!! Thanks! :biggrin:
