Thoughts on a 450 Marlin?
Tuesday, September 10, 2019, 16:58

Found one at a LGS awhile back and finally got around to shooting it Sunday. I’ve had the pleasure of shooting some big rifle cartridges in my past, including a .460 Weatherby, and have owned a .416Rigby and 375H&H in #1’s for a short time. But... that Marlin .450 was BRUTAL! It may have to find a new home! Had a bit of a problem with feeding so will have to work on that and make up some lighter handloads for it. I’ll see?
