45-70 Marlin vs. Tree

I just got some new ammo, so I figured I should test it out on the local flora.

Ammo used:

-45-70 govt. 300 grain store-bought hollow-point
-45-70 govt. 405 grain custom load

Fired from a 1895 Marlin Lever-Action Guide Gun chambered for 45-70 govt. rounds.
If you're going into the woods expecting to see a bear, pack something you know will do some damage.

Mr Famous333 do you think that bullet would have enough momentum to injure a person behind that tree? just curious about ballistics.



[mrfamous333]

@fragglegobo I have no doubt that it would be lethal to anything the size of a horse even if it went through a tree that size.

you need a couple of those going threw your head like you did the tree-what did the tree do to you ? what a ass hole.......

[mrfamous333]

@aux1z11 Perhaps we should learn the difference between people and trees, Mr. Lorax?

[JohnTheHater]

Screw the tree, shoot a squirrel! LOL

[mrfamous333]

@JohnTheHater I will do neither! XD

[mrfamous333]

@Mrjalapenothethird That is all covered in the video.

I use this identical load in my 1895. It is impressive, both in terminal performance and in felt recoil.

i so want the 1895 cowboy marlin makes with the octagon barrel.

@mrfamous333 I hope some crazy-eyed bastard crushes your nuts under her heel.

What is the music?

@bandman232 Without trees you wouldn't be breathing right now, but it's not like a tiny hole is going to kill it

@mrfamous333 Best. Response. Ever.
