Just for fun and just for 1892 Action rifles. .45 colt load charge weight deleted. 300 WFN/H110 46,000 CUP/for 92s 2180 fps. Do not attempt this in your Marlin. These are gonna hurt in A little 1892.
Without question I wouldn't attempt that load in my Marlin. I've got one load with a 292 grain cast ahead of H110 that clocks 1570 fps. If when shooting at the bench and I don't use a slip on recoil pad it starts to hurt after the 4th or 5th shot. With my H&R BC and the curved butt plate it is down right brutal. They don't seem to bother me in the field and shooting off hand. 2180 fps.....I think it is gonna hurt more than just a little.
There is a post on 24campfire where a guy shot a nuisance brown bear in Alaska with a 12 gauge brenneke Slug and it did nothing and than grabbed the 45 Colt lever action and shot and killed it with the round passing through the bear. He posted the picture of the brenneke slug. So I now question shotgun slugs on big bears.
