Tim Sundles takes a hard look at the media hype surrounding Ruger’s recently released 10mm Marlin 1894, and explains why he has no interest in owning one. In this episode, recorded on New Year’s Day, Tim compares the 10mm directly against .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt in the same Marlin 1894 platform, breaking down velocity, bullet weight, effective range, and real-world versatility. The conclusion isn’t about bashing the 10mm, though. It’s about cutting through marketing-driven crowd mentality and giving shooters the full story. If you’re considering a 10mm lever gun, or just want a reality check on how it stacks up against classic revolver cartridges in a carbine, this episode delivers the numbers, the context, and the common sense the industry often leaves out.
