Got back at 5 pm tonight.
Tired , sore and happy.
Didnt off load all the ammo but went through a few hundred.
The 38-55 shot really well till I jammed it up. Seems I hadnt put enough crimp on the bullets and they moved out of the case enough to not fully go into battery and fire but to far to eject properly. This is a phenominal round as at one stage I had 5 shots go through a 6 inch post and blow the back off of the post. The bullets measured 2" in group size.
The 32-40 loves the new bullet size. Gone up from .321 to .324 in diameter and the Marlin loved them.Popping 2 inch boards pieces at 100 m easily.
Came home with 100 38-55 and no 32-40
only 20 .44 mag left and no shotgun shells
Didnt shoot the cap and ball revs. didnt have the time or confidence in them.
