[QUOTE="Bigdad, post: 2140795, member: 5072"] I don't know anything about the 45/90 but sounds like it will require more powder for similar performance to the others. You can get all the performance you want with the 45/70 if you handload, accuracy is great, brass and dies are available. The only advantage I see to the 450 Marlin is that it may feed a little smoother due to the belt vs rimmed case. I love my Marlin 1895S 45/70. My most accurate load is the Hornady 300 JHP over 48.0 grains of IMR4198 but I have recently switched to Lehigh Defense 225 gr, Xtreme Defense over 57.0 gr IMR4198. Less recoil, great penetration, good accuracy and actually feeds much more smoothly, almost like an action job was done. [/QUOTE]
