What a fun gun. Even though it kicks pretty good with that steel butt plate.
...........What are you feeding it with the 350's ? I've been shooting 4198 in my 1895 Marlin with the 350 Hornady and getting good accuracy. Yeah, those big guns do tend to address your shoulder a bit.....particularly during load workup.....
