I wonder if that was deliberately done with a string and a caseload of Bullseye or Unique and remotely fired.
I suppose anything is possible, but why would ammunition do that? Especially with a decent scope mounted?
Yeah, who’d put a Leupold in danger. If sacrificing a Marlin, a discerning dude would surely save the Leupold.
I doubt it was deliberate. The wrong #7 powder makes sense. RL-7 is a good .45-70 powder, #7 not so much.
