TL256-50-RF
For use in the Taurus 25PLY & PT25. Over diameter 25 ACP bullet, does not size well below .255! This bullet lacks the bore-rider nose of my current 25 ACP design, the TL255-50-RF, hence the inability to size smaller.
TL314-75-RF
32 ACP bullet for the Taurus 732. Sizes well to .312" to fit other applications like the P32.
TL358-100-RF
380 Auto bullet designed for the Taurus TCP. Sizes well to .356" for the LCP and 3AT.
TLC357-135-RF
A true 9mm Luger bullet designed with a gas check. Don't expect 9mm performance with other bullets as the 9mm Luger is a high pressure cartridge! Designed for the Taurus PT series but with the bullet's bore-rider nose it sizes well to .355". For shooting your 9mm at 380 Auto level performance, Jerry offers a plain based version of this bullet.

TLC258-80-RF
25-20 Win bullet designed for the Marlin 1894CL but work well in Winchester applications. On Ranch Dog's South Texas spread, a proven bobcat & coyote killer!
TLC311-165-RF
My original 30-30 Win design that has proven itself in the Marlin and Winchester rifles and now the Rossi Rio Grande. Also in use in the Savage 99, 170, and 340. Size at .311" for 336s produced in the 1950's and .310" for all others. Marlin's manufactured from 2010 to the now might require the brass to be trimmed to match the crimp groove. Winchesters and Savages shoot well sized to .309". Rio Grande size to .310".
TLC313-115-RF
32-20 Win bullet designed for the Marlin 1894CL but work well in Winchester applications. Like the TLC258-80-RF, a proven bobcat & coyote killer!
TLC359-175-RF
A heavy, big game bullet for the 357 Mag bullet designed for the Marlin 1894 but works just as well in both my Rossi R92 and Taurus 605 sized to .357".
TLC359-190-RF
A big game hunting bullet designed for the 35 Rem as chambered in the Marlin 336!
TLC379-235-RF
A bullet that will fill the huge amount of throat cut into the throat of the 375 Win. The design incorporates multiple crimp grooves to accommodate the 38-55 Win as well.
TLC411-265-RF
The only bullet designed for the Marlin 1894 chambered in 41 Mag! Makes the cartridge/rifle combo an effective big game getter! Works equally well in the Taurus 415 sized to .410".
TLC432-275-RF
Ranch Dog's original design, the bullet that started it all. DesignED to give the Marlin 444 the diameter it needs. Works with Micro-Groove or ballard rifling as well as the 1:38 or 1:20 rate of twist. A proven big game bullet for your needs that has taken all the hoofed game in Australia (including Asian Buffalo), North America, and New Zealand. This bullet truly delivers the potential of the 444 Marlin! The bullet is also appropriate for the 336-44 and 1894. My first kill with the bullet was with the Winchester M94. I also use it in my Rossi R92 & Wizard and Taurus M44C sized to .430".
TLC432-300-RF
For those that prefer a heavier bullet in their 44 applications. With the 444 Marlin, this bullet has taken everything North America can offer. It is in use by two professional brown bear guides working in Siberia, chambered in their 444P Outfitters. Like the "275", it works well with either rifling or rate of twist encountered in the 44 Mag or 444 Marlin. Rossi R92 & Wizard and Taurus M44C sized to .430".
TLC454-290-RF
I was extremely tired of the plain base bullets offered for the 45 Colt and went to work designing a bullet that utilized the strength of the Marlin 1894 to make these rifles true big game rifles. This bullet with my load data will make your 1894 the equal of a 44 Mag+. I have taken deer and hogs with the combo and would not hesitate to use it on any hoofed North American big game. My Rossi R92 Scout rifle, with the bullet sized to .452", sees 1760 FPS! This performance puts that power is matching 45-70 performance in a very small package. I use the bullet in my Taurus 450 as well.
TLC460-360-RF
My original offering for the Marlin 1895, offers the best balance of performance for the 45-70 Govt as chambered in this rifle considering the OAL limitations imposed by the action. This bullet performs as well in my Rossi Rio Grande & Wizard sized to .458".
