:troll:The load i have been using in my 1893 Marlin SRC 1914 vintage is as follows--- 255 Gr. Bear Creek molycoat bullet, CCI 200 primer, Winchester brass and 22.0 gr. accurate 5744 powder.shoots pretty good but i would like to use a lighter bullet and not molycoat. sure gets the bore dirty. would appreciate any ideas. I have been hand loading for over 50 years and have found someone can always come up with a better load.    Thank You    Frontier Fred
