Cartridges II

[CINDERS]

My 375 JDJ based off the 444 Marlin case J D Jones started playing around with propriety cartridges around 1978.
This cartridge he developed is capable of taking elk, has lively recoil when loaded to top velocities in the handgun.

Mk VII 303 for scale.

[RCS]

Both the Winchester 25-35 and the Marlin 25-36 were introduced in 1895 chambered in the Winchester 1894 and the Marlin 1893 lever actions. These cartridges were not quite the same, with the Marlin 25-36 being a little longer with a larger rim diameter than the 25-35 Winchester. The Winchester 25-35 could be fired in the Marlin 1893 but the Marlin 25-36 could not be chambered in the Winchester.

During the mid 1920's Marlin discontinue production of the 25-36 cartridge and hunters just used the 25-35 WCF in both rifles.

Note the Winchester Protected primer with the small w on the 25-35 cartridge. The outer cup was intended to lessen the chance of ignition in the magazine tube by recoil. Winchester used the protected primer starting in 1926 with the 25-35 and 30-30.

Always wondered why they had that type of primer, what it was...
