I have a 45/70 Marlin with a 22 inch barrel. Not a cowboy, it has a round barrel with partial mag...

Re: Marlin Cowboy 45-70
Thanks Grizz, it has a 26 inch barrel, i`ve always shot a 405 grain round nose bullet but i can`t tell ya the load right now as the ammo is at the bottom of the safe with load data and i can`t get down to it and be able to get up again and Norma isn`t home today.

Re: Marlin Cowboy 45-70
Very nice, Pitchy! Wonderful shooting....are you able to recover your brass before it melts its way through the snow or do you have to wait for spring?
I have a Guide Gun....nice gun. I do have Marlin Cowboy models in .44 mag and .45 Colt, my favorites.
Thanks for the video!

Re: Marlin Cowboy 45-70
Think I remember that one Lenn. Darned good shootin' off your hind legs in the snow.
Re: Marlin Cowboy 45-70
Thanks fellers, Grizz this is the load i think i don`t shoot much anymore .
Walt we probably left the cases in the snow until spring as this was a spur of the moment thing, sometimes we will shovel a spot where the cases will fall and pick them up.
Ya kind of get used to where a rife shoots after a while which must of been the case .
