I am new to reloading, and hope to have everything set up soon so I can start.

How many pounds of pressure can my Marlin 1895G (guide gun) take? I shot 8 rounds of Buffalo Bore (430gr 1925fps) ammunition through it and it cracked my stock. The people at Buffalo
Bore said that the loads have a little less than 40,000 (CUPS?). I am also printing 3 to 4 inches low at 50yds with open factory sights.

Thanks,
WinMag
