Hi

I have an Marlin 1895 45-90 made in 1905. What is the maximum preassure when you realoding?

I would keep pressures under 25,000 psi for any older Marlin lever action rifle, regardless of the model or cartridge. I use IMR or Hodgdon 4198 for my loads on almost all rifle length cartridges as my ballistic program shows it's almost always under 20,000 psi for my loads. It's also a very accurate powder with small deviations.

Hi

Thanks for the replay.
I use Lovex D060. The types of gunpowder that are found in most loaded ones are not available in Sweden. But I use Quickload and use the types of powder that are available here.

Also casting the bullets for some time now. The ball blocks come from NOE, CBE and HP.
