When I finally get my 1895 GG home I will begin to load up some rounds... my reloads have been for a C Sharps in 45-70 and a Rolling Block in 45-90.
I have plans to check out the Barnes TXS FN 250-gr and 300-gr. In the Guide Gun these loads should be fun, just as the loadings for the .444 Marlin XLR are in the 240-gr JSP. The major problem with using heavier bullets in the 45-70 is you get punishment at one end for the faster fps at the other. So its gonna be fun playing around with my loads ;D
And yes, there will be some whitetail, elk, black bears that should be getting nervous.... and if I am lucky enough to draw a moose tag, who knows :
