I rolled up 50 rounds of 45-70 to test in my new Marlin 1895GBL. I have ten rounds of five different charge weights to test. My bullet is the 300gr RNFP by Campro over IMR4198 inside Winchester brass.
I’m just looking to get the feel of the big bore 18.5” rifle, guage the speeds, and see how the recoil is. I’m probably looking for an ideal combination with around 1900fps.
We’ll see how it goes on Saturday.
