It has never been the most popular lever gun load, but the.300 savage retains more energy at longer distances than its closest competitors. Truly appreciate you watching the videos!!!wtw shirts!!! Nra, gco, and gssa member.
History and Development of the .4570 Government Cartridge
Battle of the black bear cartridges:
It will easily take all of but the largest north american game.
I wouldn't shoot it out past 150 yards. Hands down would be the 338. I own a marlin 1895 45/70, it's a good brush gun period. Designed in 1873, this round was meant for use by the us army with their springfield rifles during and after the american civil war.
With the 300 mag your just pushing the 30/06 bullet a little faster.
You can even find a few +p loads. The.45/70s power comes from mass not speed. The.444 shoots much flatter than most folks realize. Those huge long cartridges are interesting looking and kinda calling to me.
These pressure figures can be somewhat misleading though.
