[QUOTE="Jack R Tishue Jr, post: 1731675, member: 109081"] When I took a Marlin 95 to Africa in 1972, was first person to do so, I "heated up" some loads, but unfortunately ONLY had the Winchester 405gr silver tips to use, and speed was to great for them to work right, But do believe the load with the better bullets we have now would be fine. Indeed, could be speeded up some and be almost a 450NE. The load is used was 47 grs of 4198 and the 405 gr bullet, this gave a MV or 1900 fps. With a good bullet today, would be a slammer. Guy I know in RSA said he'd like to get on and load it hot like I did, and use it as a DGR. While having 3600 fpme, the bullets just flattened out, and didn't kill well. Have some pictures but don't know how to get them on here. Just checked my Chronograph results, and was 1903 fps and SD of 8. Did not see a pressure signs and think it could be bumped up, but the recoil due to stock shape in does push ya. [/QUOTE]
