[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1289363, member: 96274"] My gun is the Marlin 1895 stainless guide gun so I have the 18.5" barrel, however according to several things I've read including info on the buffalo boar ammo the 45-70 isn't affected as much by barrel length so I shouldn't expect to lose more than 50 fps vs the longer barrel. Though we'll see how it actually ends up. I know guy's have pushed em over 2300 fps with 350 gr bullets and over 2000 fps with 400 gr bullets. Again I'm not worried about pushing it real hard but wanna get the performance if I can. Really I would just like to keep drop around 8-9" from 100 to 200 yrds. With the factory hornady the drop is about 12". Maybe it won't be attainable but this is what I'm shooting for [/QUOTE]
