OH HELL!!!!!!!! I started the same thread a few months ago. Hold on CHAD T!!! Your in for a ride!!?

100 yards.....thick cover.... .450 marlin in a Marlin 1895 guide gun!!....they don’t call me Big Bore for nothin!!

.45-70 will do the trick to in a heavy load like Buffalo Bore Ammo

That sounds like a grenade launcher. Exactly what I’m looking for.

I’m hunting one of my private land tracts and if the deer doesn’t drop it’s a nightmare to find it. Would like as much punch and blood making machine I can legally Arm.

If you don’t like lever actions I’d think that a little short barreled .338 federal or a .358 Win would make a pretty good mess out of one

That 2100fpe looks a little anemic compared to the 3500fpe of the .450 Marlin or just about anything else if you want to drop one DRT........

And it should when your .450 burns twice the powder and twice the recoil. Great round with awesome performance and I wouldn't expect any less from you with a user name like Big Bore thumbup

Anything .243 and up with a good bullet, right on the shoulder knuckle. You won't have to track him.

I’ve had good success with .45-70 govt. Easy to handle and no tracking.
