I can not speak to the feeding ability of a WWG gun. However, I have a Marlin 1895 Cowboy that was converted to 50 alaskan by Turnbull Restoration and it shoots the Woodleigh 535's with the nose flattened very well. I get 1860fps with Reloader 7 out of a 26" barrel. My loads are not pushing the envelope by any means as an engineer friend did the calculations (way beyond me to figure this out) and said that I am running 32,000 psi with my loads.

I used a bunch of WWG parts in my 1895 CB, and they all seemed to be very well made. I was esp. impressed by the difference the trigger made.
