I have some super hard cast .459 dia 510-gr Elk Busters (caster is no longer alive) but I have experienced the very same thing after recovery. This showed me how brittle they can be getting chizzled down to a wad cutter look.

I can't say thank you enough Deerwhacker444, this is awesome!!!!

I even got mine out to practice some, the doctor told me I could with my shoulder injury to my left shoulder (I shoot RH) but to turn mine down to 60# draw from the 70# I was shooting it at.

Just gotta love a Mathews

The load that I have been using with this bullet is 45.0 gr of IMR 3031 with good results. I know I've commented in other threads about seeking data for a 430-gr WFN GC cast bullet, but that is for something else more defensive. I was just going to order these thru MidwayUSA as they are $28.99 per 1...

Rimfire McNutjob In a local shop, they get the Remington 405-gr JSP in bulk buy's, and have them priced at $17.99 per 50 ct. I have bought these and they do work well and are very accurate out of my 1895G. My personal load is 45.0 gr of IMR 3031. I have really enjoyed the dialog here in this discuss...

JimT - God's speed to you and your team.

Montanan

Rimfire McNutjob but do you consider it top quality construction that you'd put to work on dangerous game? Any of the jacket stuff that Buffalo Bore is puting out is quality constructed jacketed bullets, and the hard cast bullets that he is using are of super quality construction as well. I do not l...

Montanan

Here is a pic of differant .458 jacketed bullets. Notice bullet 3 and 4, bullet #3 being a 400-gr Speer JSP and bullet #4 a 405-gr Rem 405-gr. You will have to seat the Rem 405-gr above the hump with a firm but not hard crimp. You can get a Lee factory crimp die if you feel you need to. Your total O...

There is alot of wisdom in what you say, and well founded I might add.

Thank you

Montanan

Very good caliber... saved my bacon several years ago and the aggressor took a dirt nap.

Montanan

Very nice, thanks for sharing

Montanan

I don't use a 540-gr or 550-gr but have settled on a 430-gr WFN GC produced by a local Montana company that just flat out works for the reasons Jim stated in his write up. In big heavy game which could be dangerous game, you need the ability to have bone crushing results and shock power. I know of o...

Montanan

Good sale but I get a much better deal.

Montanan

I'm surprized that they have not enacted a law that requires an EPA study just to fanny burp in public

Hey Griff

Your only answer might be to find "Bolt Caps" like they have here, and see if they can be gotten in Black Chrome.

You'll need a loading tray made for the big old honking rim of the 45/70. :lol: The 444 is slightly more economical IMO, because the components are smaller than the 45/70. i.e. less brass, copper and powder...... 45-70 loading tray you can find in the shotgun loading section - I use a 20 ga tray, a...

Because of E-bay policy I do not shop there.

I would have no problem using my 1895G with a proper load from either Randy Garrett @ Garrett Cartridges or Tim Sundles @ Buffalo Bore Ammunition.

Iffin you want to hunt hogs up here, your gonna have to sit on a biker bar and wait till they come in for waterin.

I will have to check this out myself as well, as I have a friend in Kelseyville.

Very nice Guide Gun and you will love the way it shoots as well. I just recently put Skinner Sights on mine and oh let me tell you that is shoots so much better now.

I'll take hunting over shooting, but shooting is still high on my list of fun things to do.

Would rather be hunting deer, elk and bear and moose should I draw a tag for it.

45-70

From the 300-gr to 500-gr Elk Buster

Montanan

Always check your OAL for your Leverguns, the provided load data is for the Leverguns in particular as when the load was first established was for the 45-90 Express which was for the Winchester in a 300-gr bullet.

I also have data for the 45-90 Sharps ie 45-2.4 cartridge.

so you are saying the 444 has equal proformance at 50 yards as a 44 mag.i dont agree.on another topic if the 444 was designed after the 30-06 i wounder if they considered nameing it a 44-06? The 30-06 was created in 1906, and hence was named as .30 cal - 1906 the year = 30-06, and the .444 Marlin w...

Seen one at Shields in Great Falls, and it reminded me of why I hated to carry my 32" original Remington Rolling Block around the prairie like I did once..... :shock: carried it all day long, ALL 11.5 pounds of her. Seemed like a lifetime, of going down coolies and such. No thank you ever again...
