Marlin 1895 rebarreled to the range..........Yea!

Post by rbertalotto »

I finally got out with my rebarreled Marlin1895 in 45-70 to the range.

Everything I loaded shot great, but one load was amazing.

405g Cast Performance (.459) over IMR4198 produced this with iron sights at 50 yds. I hade many three shot groups under 2.5"

I think I found my load........

Thanks! With these 58 year old, vision corrected eyes.....I'm surprised I can see the target!

I bet with a scope this rifle would be a real tack driver.............

+1 I'm lucky where the crescent buttplate is concerned. I'm a little dude and the crescent fits me BETTER
than the others :D
