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. Trying to get out on a hunt in February and don’t have time, money or the resources to spend on the work up myself with components being so hard to come by here and everyone gouging. I’ve never even heard of lead free .450 Marlin factory loads and I’m pretty sure they’re non existent. Thanks in advance.

If you can find Barnes 250 or 300grs., they have data, in case no one comes up with some personal experience. Accuracy with this gun (W94) is about the same no matter speed/weight of bullet in my hands, so I would load them toward the top end and go with it, unless it is truly a disaster.
