I am considering a Marlin 1895SS(45.70)but am curious about the use of cast bullets in these guns. The rifle in question is used & is in 100% condition for $300.00. It was mfg. in 1987 according to Marlin(ran the serial number). Is this gun worthy of my consideration if I want to use cast bullets? I can't justify a new gun with the Ballard rifling at about twice this price. I have been told that one can size the bullets @ .459 and keep the vel. @ <1600 fps & obtain good results. Your help and comments are appreciated with respect to both the rifle deal and the bullet question. Thank you.
