Oh, the gummy tipped Hornady 325 grain bullet has a WHOPPING BC of .230.

Yippee... that'll make all the difference. Not.

Oh, and the Marlin lever (which is part of the LOCKING MECHANISM) was bending BECAUSE YOUR STUPID ASS WAS WAY OVER PRESSURE!

You're damned luck it bent, and didn't just shear.

Don't worry, though... that harder, more brittle temper lever from Wild West won't bend... it'll shear. Take a guess what happens if/when that sheers off? Want to hazard a guess where the bolt goes?

Moron...
