Firearms are all unique. No two are exactly the same, neither are shooters or conditions.

I believe my results were fired from a Marlin 1894 too. The longer barrel may have made quite a bit of difference.

You have good input AA and I am sure of your information too. One thing I did not validate that you did, accuracy. I only checked numbers. The numbers got better, I have no idea about accuracy, wasn't part of the testing parameters.

Have a good day, friend!
