Great video North61! In my opinion the big bore family is an outstanding addition to the mod 94 series. Have settled on the 356 since brown bears are common in many areas I hunt. Currently using the 200gr factory power point and 250gr Kodiak. Curious how the 220gr Speer has performed, read several articles stating it won't expand at 356 velocities. Currently experimenting with several ball powders to see if can safely increase velocity.
Check out this great post:
https://www.marlinowners.com/forum/...ullet-performance-part-ii-handloads.htmlThe 220 grain bullet should expand ok in the 356 as it's capable in the slower 35 Rem at least close in. My own experience in the 358 would suggest that past 175-200 yards you might have limited expansion but great penetration.
