Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Dangerous game handloads for Marlin .45-70?

I've shot put 2 boxyes of buffalo bore through my marlin 1895 that i customized. I went thru a box of the 300 grain and a box of the 400 grain, I think the 300 grain kicked the worst. I just started a box of the 430 grainers. I haven't had a chance to test penetration. The 430 grain from BB would work on medium dangerous game like big black bears, or moose. for big bears or african type game i'd probably want the 500 grain full metal jacket.
