They used tape on their fingers (thumb and index finger) because they were getting torn up loading!

Re: Marlin 1894C in .357 Mag

When I took Urban Rifle at Thunder Ranch, there was a couple from Chicago that were using these guns. (They wanted to use something they could legally have at home.) We fired between 1200 and 2000 rds in that week long course and by Tuesday, they both had their fingers covered in white medical tape. I don't know how they did it.
