.45-70 Hornady Leverevolution 325 Grain FTX

Shooting an old creatine jug with maybe 2/5 of the creatine powder left that I mixed with water. Shot it with a Hornday Leverevolution 325 Grain FTX (Flex Tip Expanding), producing 2,050 FPS and 3,100 Ft Lbs at the muzzle. Rifle being used is a Marlin 1895 Cowboy with a 26 inch barel, Hornady tests the round with a Marlin 1895 with a 24 inch barrel. Not to be gruesome, but in my own personal opinion this is probably the closest to what would happen if had to shot another human in the head, but since never having had to do that, I could be dead wrong, no pun intended...hahaha.

@InAKwitmyHK91 I've always wanted to try reloading with some 500s, these Marlins are bears.
