I used the Lee 150 FN over 10.0 grains of Unique. I sized them at 0.310" with gas check. It was accurate in my M94 and produced about 1500 fps. I never used it on game, but it approximates the ballistics of the .32-40, which killed a lot of deer when fired from M94s.

I loaded 22 grains of H4198 (just because I had it available) behind a 170gr Lyman 311041 and it works very well.

Hi,

Just checked the notebook, and it looks like I've loaded more Lee 150gr FP gas checked over 10 grs of Unique than any other light load... Marlin 336.

120 gr. round nose bevel based bullet sized .310" over 10.0 gr. of Unique. he load is long enough to feed in both Winchester and marlins. The M94 Winnie can be a bit fussy feeding with lighter bullets making rounds too short to feed. Great for single loading.
