I think this has been discussed before but I failed to find the topic by doing a search. I have loaded 350 gr. cast bullets using a 2.55" oal for my Marlin 1895 GS and have had great results. This is the oal Marlin specifies in the owners manual. I now plan to load a 405 gr. hard cast gas checked bullet and the reloading info calls for 2.56" oal minimum. Has anyone had feeding problems using this slightly longer oal?

Thanks,
Doug

Thanks for the info. I loaded a box today and settled for 2.555" oal. If I were to seat the bullets any deeper, I'd miss the crimp groove. This round seems to cycle smoothly with no problems so far. Hope these bullets shoot as good as my 350 gr. bullets.

Thanks,
Doug
