325 gc RNFP in .45-70 ready for opener!

My Marlin 1895 is putting these in 1.5" at 60 yards which ain't fantastic but since that's further than I can SEE in my woods I'm comfortable.

Nothing wrong with that. Should bring home the venison. Gp Oh yah, I love my new Henry 45-70 Great caliber. Gp

That's about the same weight bullet, with a lot bigger meplat, as the one I sent through a big Kansas doe's chest a couple of weeks ago at about fifty or sixty yards. Worked just fine, she jumped and took maybe five steps and dropped. Velocity was probably 1350-1400 FPS. That's the beauty of the .45-70, even when it's weak, it's still pretty powerful.

Should fine, good luck hunting.

I've had Great performance from the 300g SJHP (sierra?) but I want to get one with a CB I cast (other than ML season -50 cal out of my TC renegade)

What exactly is that bullet? Who made the mold? Looks like it ought to be the perfect deer hunting bullet in the .45-70. I know guys seem to like heavier bullets, but we're talking about fairly lightly constructed animals here, and with a WFN like that, it should transfer energy very well.

I got the mold second-hand if I recall correctly; I think it was made by MiHec of MP molds and I think it's was referred to as 460325 GC 'hammer' as designed by 45 2.1 for BRP...
