Folks,
Today I took delivery of an 01 Marlin 1895cb, 26" barrel. I have no experience with this rifle or round, it just intrigues me, Frankly all levers intrigue me. I have several over the counter loads coming in the mail.
405 gr flat point lead @ 1250 fps - Blackhills
300 gr semi jacketed hollowpoint @ 1810 fps -Remington
325 gr Leverevolution @ 2050 fps - Hornady
Since I am sitting around waiting for FedEx I am wondering what to expect from these loads. I don't hunt I'm just a tinkerer and plinker. How do these perform at 100 to 200 yards? Beyond? Accuracy with irons? I am expecting some stout recoil, Does anyone use a decelerator pad in their 45/70?
Thanks!
Mark
