What part of Idaho? I've got one in a Browning BLR. I'm needing to procure some dies but I have bullet moulds for it and will be casting up in the pannhandle.

I had the Guide Gun in 450 M but my current Guide Gun is in 45-70. The 450M is the hard way to go about getting the same performance

To add to what I already said. The 450 Marlin is every bit as good as the 45-70. But no better. And brass is scarce and ammo is pricier

If you can get a 450M for a good price it's worth it. It's a solid cartridge. It got me my biggest Moose which was among the largest shot in NH that year

For single shots I prefer the rimmed 45-70 all day long. For modern rifle design like the BLR or bolt action the 450marlin is the winner. Ballistic twins pretty much.
