I'm finding Acubond bullets are no good for short range shots at all. Two years in a row I've had shot bull elk under 100 yards with my 300 and they have run away.
Thanks! The 45/70 is two years old and has about 20 rounds through it, I bought my 336 in 1978 and it is a dream rifle. Not the nightmare of the new Marlin...
I have a remlin 45/70 that I could absolutely love if it would fire every time I pulled the trigger... I have a Beowulf that I trust. It's a terrible thing to not trust your lever gun...
