Had one in another lifetime. Gave me a legit one hole group at 40 yards. One barely elongated hole! Great fun. I still have a Marlin Model 56 and 57 in 22LR.

Judman, GWP Guy, Canuck. Had one sold it, almost regretted instantly!!! Great little lever, pretty accurate just like a 25-20 magnum, trajectory much like a hornet! Those 60gr flat points dropped coyotes just fine, even killed a 10pt buck late season on trappline, 75gr,neck shot dropped in its tracks!! Young, stupid, hungry, wouldn't try it now I don't think. You won't regret buying it, very short lever throw, fast. Shame to change it but I always wanted one in 6mm on that case, (loony) better bullets. Got pretty good on running coyotes out to 150/200 yes. Grab it, you won't be sorry. Diggzz🐾👣🐾👣

My .256 is a Winchester 92 conversion.

It is a wonderful little cartridge

I make mine from .357 as well. When you can find "real" .256 brass, it usually runs a buck a piece.
