Quote HistoryQuoted: I lucked out. When I got my WM special Marlin 45-70, i loaded up a bunch of WW PC 405s with BCL2. Buddy has a shooting rest that you velcro strap the gun into. Strap the gun in, adjust the gun to meet the target, trip trigger. I could not imagine shooting 5 five shot groups out of that gun in one day. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: RL7? I have some gas checked 405s that run pretty slow but you can shoot them all day with the hybrid suppressor. The 325 FTX load is the ass kicker, but I can't get the speeds like the manual suggests. That’s my main powder, I have a bunch of imr 4227 I’m using up. 1450-1575fps 31-34gr is the powder range. 45-70 is not fun to develop loads for. You have to stand and use a shooting stick. I’ve tried bench shooting.... By round 7, I saw stars. It was beautiful. I lucked out. When I got my WM special Marlin 45-70, i loaded up a bunch of WW PC 405s with BCL2.

I could not imagine shooting 5 five shot groups out of that gun in one day. There is a reason why people jump 1 full grain of power in developing loads, instead of the usual .3gr.  What I‘ve learned is you get more accuracy the more full the charge is, normally close to max. Standing on a tripod, it’s not so bad and relatively stable. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @35Whelen700 Damn...what kind of velocity are you loading those to? Quote HistoryQuoted: @35Whelen700 Damn...what kind of velocity are you loading those to? No idea, yet. Bought them for an old friend of mine to try in his Shiloh .45-120. First thing he said when I handed them to him was "oh FUCK! You're shooting the first one!" I may have made a mistake.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Or pull a Roy Scheider Jaws 2 and fill them with cyanide. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Based on thread title I was expecting drilled out nose cavity filled with snake venom and sealed over.  Or the old standby, fill the hole with mercury. That way even if you hit them in the leg it's fatal. Or pull a Roy Scheider Jaws 2 and fill them with cyanide.

Quote HistoryQuoted: And now you can't have one. Unless you want to sell a kidney. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: That’s awesome!! I’ve wanted a 45-70 for awhile now! And now you can't have one.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not sure if those will stabilize or keyhole downrange. In a short range situation, will it matter? jesus. it's like throwing a 69cal musket ball down range and shattering everything it hits. |
