Well I have wanted one of these for a long time and now I have a Marlin 45-70. I should be able to make good use for the 1,500 pieces of brass that I have from shooting my Springfield.
I have never reloaded the 45-70, I have been thinking about doing it for the Trapdoor but just never got around to it. But this marlin is so fun to shoot I have to give reloading a try for it.
I shot a box of Remington 405 soft points and Hornady Leverevoution 325 FTX through it today. The Hornady sure has some more recoil to it.
What is a good mix for bullet type / weight and powder. I will figure up my own load with the components. However this sure is a fun gun to shoot and should be a nice tractor companion gun.
