Rocky there are a couple of problems with what your wanting to do, the lever guns aren't noted for strong hammer springs. My Marlin will not reliably ignite a CCI primer, the CCI would be your best choice If you use a ball powder. If you do decide to go with H335 or similar powder I would try Winchester primers first and see if they work. I know the CCI primer will ignite ball powder fine if your hammer spring is up to the task, often times you have to take a round about way to get where you want to go. William
