[QUOTE="torque, post: 441560, member: 2109"] Factory loads are loaded to trapdoor levels and are fairly mild. Custom and hand loads can approach the full potential of the Marlin and can rock you're world. That is what I love about the 45/70. It is very easy to load, from mouse all the way to elephant. The 45/70 can and has taken every large and dangerous game animal on the planet. For deer and hogs I like Varget powder and a 300 grain JHP at 1850 fps (factory load and mild recoil). For very thick brush I like H322 and a 420 grain Beartooth Piledriver Jr. hardcast at 1850 fps. Very stout recoil and makes you feel alive. 1850 feet per second is the most accurate in my Guide Gun (1" groups at 100 yds.) I can get 2300 fps with H4198 and a 300gr.JHP but the groups open up to 5". [/QUOTE]
