I found a bunch of Hornady .450 marlin ammonia on clearance for $19/box... and a .450 Marlin at Sportsman's Warehouse back when they were doing all those store closing also on a big sale. It's awesome on hogs... at 8 yards in the brush.

Apparently someone makes 720gr bullets for the 45-110.

It can be used for extreme loads in calibers such as 458 Winchester, 458 Lott, 45-120 Sharps, and also the 45-70. In 45-70, it will not cycle through a lever action however. The overall length of the bullet is 1.690 and the length of the nose from the crimp groove is 0.720. |

So I went to powder coat some 405s yesterday. This bullet is so devastating that it broke my plastic container just from shaking about 20 of them around for 1 minute. This same container has been used to coat thousands of 175gr .40 cal bullets, but that massive hephalump bullet was just too much for it and the sides cracked.
My wife informs me that I will have to buy Rubbermaid or genuine tupperware for future use. |
