.45-70 Gov't Buffalo Bore Loads

Just a quick expasnsion test at about 20 yards. Rifle used is a Marlin 1895 Cowboy, 26 inch barrel 1:20 RH Twist. First load is a 300 Grain JHP producing 2,350 FPS and 3,678 Ft Lbs at the muzzle. Second load is a 405 Grain JFN producing 2,000 FPS and 3,597 Ft Lbs at the muzzle. Buffalo Bore's test rifle is a standard Marlin 1895 with a 24 inch barrel. The destroyed white container with leaking red sludge was the remains of an old creatine jug that had some powder mixed with water that I had earlier shot using a Hornady Leverevolution 325 Grain FTX bullet. It's hard to hear me talking at times but beware the gun shots are fairly loud.

This is weird, but we have very similar voices. I've never heard anyone who sounds exactly like I do.
