    Would anyone be willing to share a lead free .450 Marlin load recipe with me worked up for an 1895M? I live in California so I can’t hunt with lead.

    So after several months or reading, researching, watching tutorials, reading and then reading some more; I finally bit the bullet (pun intended) and tried my first reloads. In Australia, we're a little more restricted for powder choice than in the US, but decided on Benchmark 2 from ADI which...

  4. 1894
    Several years ago I received some homeloads when I bought a secondhand Marlin 1894 Cowboy LTD. These were .45Colt gallery loads that "shot really well", according to the seller of the gun. He didn't want any money for them and so they were duly signed over. Since they were being shot through the...

    For those of you guys that push 450gr(+plus) bullets at max velocity in the 45/70, what powders deliver higher velocities? I am not planning on loading max 45/70 loads, I am just curious about powder burn rates and effectiveness in 45/70s when the bullets get extremely heavy.

    I shot a small test group of the Beartooth 525gr Pile-Drivers today. I am working up slowly from a reduced load listed on their site. All I can say is wow. On a few of the loads I was able to group this monster bullet at 1.5" at 200 yards. I will have to load some more and go test again to...

  10. The 45/70 Govt.
    Due to the difference in capacities between brands of brass...which comes out to about 3-4 grains worth of difference, I am making a new rule here in the 45-70 forum.
