Just acquired a marlin 1895, new to the big bores. I’m using a peep so my shots will be around 100yds or less. Interested in those that hunt with a 45-70 What have served you well in the field? I’m not recoil shy and don’t plan on doing much shooting from the bench.
God Bless,

Anything you can fling out of a 45-70 will kill any deer DRT with a good shot. I used the old standard 405 grain Remington jacketed flat points and they were devastating. Get them moving over 1400fps and nothing will stand there and take it. I had mine cranked up a little higher.........and they killed at both ends of the gun. Just find a bullet and load that shoots well, and stick to it. No need to re-invent the wheel, the 350 fp and 405 fp bullets are fine from any maker..
