  1. The 45/70 Govt.
    Hey guys!! I purchased a marlin 1895 rifle in 45/70. I looked up the serial number and from what I’ve read it was made around 1982. It wasn’t shot much(if at all). So I got it and brought it home. I bought a box of Hornady lever evolution for it, the rifle does not like these rounds. It jams...

I know CCI is the best, but it's pricey. I also know that each rifle is different, and cleaning is...

    I've been using 170 gr Remington Core-Lokt. I only put about 200 rounds through the rifle since I've only had it a little while and there's no close range in Brooklyn, but it shoots as consistent as I let it. I noticed it leaves a decent bit of residue in the barrel, though, which I don't love...
