I have a marlin M 62 lever gun, cal. 30 carbine. I bought it thinking it would be nice because I could use it with reduced loads etc.
When I shoot full power Winchester factory ammo, the fired cases feel almost like the chamber is" fluted ". I know some military firearms use fluted chambers. Any body here familiar with chambers in these M62's ?
They have a short stroke lever system and probably not much extraction power, so that could favor a fluted chamber I suppose.
The ripples in the cases seem to size back OK in my full length size die and I am going to try some less powerful loads in it today - ( 110 gr hornadys at about 1600fps ).
I can also cast the chamber with cerrosafe, but thought someone on here might already have some insight on this .
Thanks
