[QUOTE="Wild Bill G, post: 1401808, member: 96281"] Wondering if any on here have tried 1000yd shooting with the 45-70. Was just reading in my Nosler manual it actually held the record for best group at 1000yds for a long time. Ihave a new Marlin in 45-70 and was blown away by the groups it shot at 100yds with a 7x scope. My best was a .381 3 shot group with 2 bullets through the same hole. In fact we found the slammed together in the mound behind the target board. The barrel on my gun is only 18 inches so I lose alot of velocity. Would a 24 be a better bet if one was to try 1000yd shooting. What I would like to hear is if any of you have tried it what you used and the results from the old cartridge. [/QUOTE]
