Nice 40* today and barely any wind here today :shock: I know freaky! Anyway took 4 levers out. The 3 45-70s
Marlin GG SBL 18" barrel
Marlin limited 24" 1/2 round 1/2 octagonal and
Winchester 1885 24" octagonal barrel
Also took out the Browning 71 in 348 Win.
This is what they did
Marlin Guide gun
300 gr TSX at 2200 fps with AA1680
Marlin limited 24" 1/2 round 1/2 octagonal
325 FTX at 2400 fps with H4198
and
325 FTX at 2300 fps with RL7
And
Browning 71 348 200 gr Hornady at 2600 fps with H4350
All of them are sub MOA.
With the 1885 I loaded 405 gr cast with 34 gr of AA5477. I fired a couple of rounds (Around MOA) BUT chrono said 2540 fps!!!!! (?????) so I stopped.
I then swapped to the IR screens and shot some more and some other loads and all did same thing!!! Have to figure it out!
Anyway GREAT DAY!
