For comparison, here's my buddies Marlin Guide Gun .45-70 shooting Leverevolution, 325gr@2000fps which I believe is a fairly stiff load for a .45-70.
This is the same target, at the same distance, using the .458 Lott (again, 500gr@2300fps)
My buddy shooting the Lott...this was round 2 or 3 for him
One more, some slow motion shoulder action
Just bought the last two boxes of ammo that Brownells had...on sale for $85 a box (from $105) and an additional 10% off for $100 or more...so total is $4 a round
Marlin lever guns seem to make every bit of recoil felt by the shooter imo. Did quite a bit of reloading fro a friend and his .450 Marlin. I'd compare it to the Lott in a No. 1, only Marlin is tough on the lever hand as well.
There was no comparison between the two here IMO. We shot the Lott first, then his Guide Gun and it made the Guide Gun feel like a pea shooter. My middle finger is a bit tender from the No1, it was definitely moving. I guess thats why some people wear gloves when they shoot them?
