Last year the Marlin had some issue feeding regular 44 magnum (it feeds leverevolution just fine) and since I intend to do some handloads this season I wanted to make sure I had the problem resolved.

Turns out the cartridge stop on the cartriodge lifter was about .080 too short. I drilled and pinned it, and stoned the pin off to length so that only one cart came out of the magazine at a time. Works fine now, so I can juice up some nice loads- though the 44 mag is useless past 100 yards anyway.

Drove home from a side gig through a thrashing storm last night. Pouring rain and sheet lightning, cars slowed to a crawl. I found a semi headed northbound at 70 and stayed a half mile behind him, we did fine. I had the Ipod plugged into the stereo and I rode that storm with Tom Waits and Etta James and Toy Caldwell and JS Bach. On Shuffle the ipod did some weird superimpositions, like “Goldberg variations” on top of “This old cowboy” but it worked for me. Love a rainstorm, especially driving in one.
