Just wondering if anybody else has been enjoying one of these; it seems like you hardly ever see one pop up since the Marlin site closed it's forum.

I had mine out again this weekend. Once I got the brass figured out, its been lots of fun.

Marlinowners.com has plenty of people with Marlin 336CB rifles chambered in 38-55.

If anyone comes across a new 38-55 cowboy for sale please PM me.

hey Strider. New member chiming in. Yes I have one. Have ammuntion question that could use addressing. Also have photos that could post but need to know how big they can be.

I belive 100 x 100 but you can find a sticky thread at the top of the photography forum with that info. Welcome to the campfire.

......I haven't fiddled with the Marlin Cowboy,but I picked up a Winchester Wrangler in .38/55. It's an angle eject with roll engraved cowboy on a bronc,saddle ring ,fancy walnut stock and checkering. I get 38/55 hunting loads with a 255 gr Barnes bullet at 1850fps from a private loading friend of mine.This is still within SAMMI presure specs for modern era rifles. Even with the Wranglers short barrel,this load is a whomper on whitetail! Heck it'd work on moose!..Buffalo bore loads the 38/55 to 1950 fps,but thier ammo,nice as it is, is very costly! The old 38/55 still has good life in it.Truth be known it's accounted for every game animal in north America! Stay within it's range limitations and it'll get the job done!

Sorry, I just saw this post. Did you get your question answered?

If anyone wants a handful of .379 softpoints to try in their Marlin Cowboy .38-55, let me know. I sure wish I still had mine.
