A Marlin 1894 with a 20" barrel & half magazine isn't exactly a fly-weight rifle. I don't think I'd have to clench my jaw.
I could also be wrong...

Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Not exactly. There is a .300 Rook here, and loads made up for it. Hopefully in the next couple weekends I'll be able to try it. It was made by Alex Davidson in the 1880's ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/rook_zps1ws5oa4i.jpg)

Cool piece there, do give us a report.
Awhile back I had an old English piece in the .297-250 originally, but the bore was shot and the previous owner lined in with a .25-20 chamber. Tried all get out to find someone that would reline it and chamber it properly, but no go. Sold it and moved on.
Made by John Blanch in '85.

It was made by Alex Davidson in the 1880's Patrick, I just read a thread on another forum about a fellow getting a new (to him) Cadet in .310 Martini. He was directed to BACO for the proper cast bullets for his rifle and other Rook cartridges. Thought I might enable you a bit...  Ed

If I were to load paperpatch w/BP in the .416 Rigby would it be appropriate for this forum?

Hmmm, let me see...centerfire cartridge, black powder propellant, paperpatched lead bullet. Yup. Would it be appropriate for BPCR competition? Nope. But we can talk about any thing we want here, just as long as the Holy Black is the propellant of choice. In fact, I think we ought to talk about 16" Naval guns. Yes, it's a duplex charge, but what a BP priming charge! Ed

That 16" buffalo gun is a jewel. Never saw a bunker they couldn't bust and quite a few they did.

.38-96? That's so weird it is somehow perfectly congruent with affairs today.
