By the summer, I want to put all my bullet development to rest with my Marlin 1894s. I started my final testing cycle today by pouring my first TLC359-175-RF, a bullet designed specifically for the Marlin 1894C which is chambered in 357 Mag.

This bullet is designed to fit the OAL requirements of the Marlin (1.59") while balancing weight with terminal performance. As soon as the bullets are lubed, the shooting will start. I have a couple of other fellows working with the bullet, Steelbanger and Tom Myers. Tom will be looking at the bullet in wheel guns. Once the testing is complete, any changes will be made if necessary and my inventory will be ordered. Notice the "Factory Crimped" cartridge. In addition to this and a few other bullet designs, I will be offering collet type Factory Crimp dies for the 1894 cartridges starting this summer. If these are being used as a rifle cartridge, I want to treat them as such.
My work with the 1894 chambered in 45 Colt has come to a close and tomorrow the TLC454-290-RF will be available in my store. These bad boys have received the Factory Crimp treatment as well.

I did manage to take a nice sow last week at 75-yards with the my 1894S and the bullet. This gas checked design along with some velocity and pressure behind it, knocked her right off her feet. She is Jimmy Dean's Hot now, quite tasty!

My 41 Mag design, the TLC411-255-RF, should be arriving in the next 30-days. Luckly, the hogs are running wild on the Ranch so there is plenty of test material.
You can find my bullets for the 1894 Classic Limited seriesl; the 218 Bee, 25-20 Win, and 32-20 Win on my web site as well.
The TLC359-175-RF is not currently listed on my website. When the testing is complete and inventory order, it will be added with complete information.
