Daryl, your idea is a good one.

I'd like a Marlin 1895 chambered for the .38-56. It is as you say very close to the .375 on that case.

I once knew a fellow who rebarrelled a 1895 to .33 Winchester, thinking...OOPS...that sine the original 1895's were chambered in .33 Win all was OK.

It isn't.

He forgot that the modern 1895 is NOT an original 1895 but are rather merely 336's opened to take the loading and function of the .45-70. After all that work, when he tried to run a round in the chamber; JAM. He was not pleased, but never asked any of us at the shop about the idea before he just did it!

Anyway, the OAL of the .38-56 is good for the modern "95" and would work well. Actually, come to thinkof it, a ..375/.350 Rem Mag would be fine in the rifle also as long as the OAL was kept in line for functioning in the Marlin.

Regardless, the .38-56 should make a good round for Lee's with appropriate mag mods.
