Considering that they had micro-groove rifling, will Marlin 375s work well with cast bullets?



Now, you went above my pay grade! I was simply judging on bullet diameter! That said, while the micro-groove does require some considerations.....they perform very well with cast bullets. Go to the Cast Boolit, yes “Boolit”, forum....there is more information on that site than you can absorb. Lot’s of information pertaining to micro-groove bores! memtb
