45/70 Bullet

[Alibiiv]

We've been using the Barnes 300gr TSX FB bullets in our 45-70. Out to 100 yards they are rack drivers We use them black bear hunting. We have 1895 Marlins and one Ruger XBL, they shoot lights out. We've never recovered a bullet.

What powder are you using for the Barnes

I also run the FTX 325 gr. Over IMR 4198 at 2150 fps. Packs a punch but all we have killed with it is Black Bear.
Great idea with cutting the tips down rather than cutting down the case. Wish I would have thought of that. What a pain in the but that was.
