Hornady recommends MVs between 1400 to 2500 fps. But those are MVs expected from the Marlin rifles. Anyway, I've loaded a bunch for my #1 Ruger in .458 WM to simulate (if possible) a Marlin in .45-70.

I use them on Northeast whitetail in my 458 WM ... I load them to ~ 2,000 fps out of my 22" M70 .
