A few months ago I bought my first lever gun, the Marlin 45-70 1895GS. I looked at others but I couldn't get my eye off the marlin.
I put a Nikon 3-9x40 on it and after a long hour of sighting it in, I was getting 2 1/2" groups at 100yds. with Winchester 300gr. JHP.
Now that I've broken the beast in, I am currently attempting to handload for better accuracy. Going with 425gr. FNGC with 37.6gr of IMR 4198. Does anyone else reload the 45-70, and what loads do you use?
