A safe load depends on several things in early guns. First they should always be cast lead, as it's easier on the bore than jacketed bullets. These old guns used softer steel than newer guns, so I always use cast lead. Size will depend on your gun's bore, and you should slug the bore and buy or cast bullets that are .001-.003" larger. I like something around 170 gr. for the 1893 Marlin in .32-40, and either 4198 or 4895 powder. With 4198 I use 14.0 grs. for about 1350 fps, and with 4895 I use 15 grs. for around the same velocity.

What is the value of a Marlin model 1893 lever action in 25 35 cal with special smokeless steel stamped on the barrel?
Marlin did not make a model 1893 in .25-35 cal. The Marlin 1893 was chambered for the .25-36 Marlin caliber. Values depend on many things, including condition, and special order features. Without this info, a price can not be determined. According to data from Cartridges of the World, The 25-35 cartridge can be fired in a rifle chambered for the 25-36 Marlin, but with the warning that many rifles chambered for the 25-36 are not strong enough to withstand the maximum load and all factory 25-35 loads exceed the 2000 FPS MV suggested for the 25-36. I think a Marlin 1893 should to be able to handle it but check with a gunsmith first. I believe the Marlin Model 1893 comes in multiple calibers I own a Marlin Model 1893 in a 38-55 that has the words special smokeless steel, I believe the round can be loaded with smokeless powder that equals the pressures of 55 grains of black powder. I paid $400 for my Marlin it retains about 90% of the bluing am not sure if that is an average price but may be a starting point. Hope this is of some help 9393 (hammerhead)
