Gents,
I've been pondering, and I know its dangerous. I've always been a fan of using cartridges the way they were designed. So, I got the "bright" idea of going brush hunting with my marlin 1895GS in 45-70. I thought it might be fun to use holy black under a Lee 405HB.
With the shorter barrel on my 1895, I was having a conversation with myself about what grade of holy black to use. I have Goex FG and FFG. I use FG in my trapdoor springfields, but I'm thinking that a full case of FFG under the boolit will give me better results with the shorter barrel.
I've been known to be wrong, so I figured I'd ask the forum to see if anyone else had experience with this folly.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Warmest Regards,
