[QUOTE="BobHu, post: 2569883, member: 123564"] The 450 Marlin was created with a belt to keep it from loading into 45/70's particularly trap doors. The majority of the ammunition is seen on the shelf for 45/70 Can safely be fired in a trap door rifle. I'm mostly shoot Hornady 325 grain flex tips@2300fps Which make this truly a 300 yd gun. I use a cabela's caliber matched scope. Using this scope my 100 yd hits are the same as my 200 yd hits, I have not shot the 300 yd with this combination yet, But the energy is there to 300 yd. If you really want to go crazy you can get a ruger number one And load to just about 458 Winchester magnum loads [/QUOTE]
