Forum based and registered car clubs covering Ford Model Specific Vehicles. I half guess that a lot of people make the assumption that old technology was somehow less lethal than modern guns, but I beg to differ. 45-70 with cast bullets will be "enough gun" to hunt deer. As comment to much empty case for me.Īs a bullet caster, I frequent a bullet casting forum at Anyway, every few months, some newbie will come on the site asking if a. You can reduce your charge of 3031 a lot, get excellent performance and a lot more loads from a pound of powder.Īs for Unique in a 45-70 case. This load pretty much copies blackpowder velocities. will completely penetrate through a mature buffalo at 165 yards using a Pedersoli Rolling Block. I can tell you from first hand experience (I have the hide in my mancave) that a 405 cast lead bullet loaded with 30 +/- fps. Accuracy is more important than power, and,since all I will use it on is 100 or so yards on whitetail deer, either would work - as long as it's safe.ġ600 fps. As you can see, I can get quite a few more shots out of Unique than I can from 3031, even though the velocity is slower with the Unique (15.0 grains Unique: 1200FPS, 46.5 3031:1600FPS).

#Castboolits gunloads forum manual#
The Pedersoli manual says nothing above 29000 CUP, and that load is below that, but I want to cover all of my bases. There is one load that, in the marlin, shot really well and used a lot less powder, but it was just above Trapdoor pressures (around 27000 CUP). I intend to continue using them however, I want to know just what pressures the action can take safely. I am currently loading mid-range Trapdoor loads, and like them just fine. I'm seeing that Trapdoor loads are about as much as I can load in it, but not Level 2 loads. I am not going to use it much for long-range competition, but intend to do quite a bit of hunting. I much prefer this gun over the Marlin, as it fits me perfectly. I am really hoping Turbo1889 gets his heavy weight slugs working though I think some of his designs could take the 410 slug to the next level for use on medium size game.I just traded my Marlin 1895 (JM stamped)45/70 for a Pedersoli Creedmore Long-Range rolling block in 45/70. The Brenneke slug (modified to work in my 2.5 inch Win 9410) has been the best performer to date. Since then the 410 slug has become quite the hobby for me and I have been trying to find a better (both in accuracy and terminal performance) ever since. The thrill of taking a deer that close with my 9410 was awesome. The first day I hunted with my Winchester 9410 I took a nice 8-pt deer. I convinced myself that if I kept my shots close the 410 slug could take a deer. So I started doing some research and testing. I was stunned that a smooth bore shotgun could shoot slugs that well, and on top of that I didn't have a bloody-nose like I so often got from 3-inch Remington sluggers out of my 12 gauge BPS. One of my first groups I shot with the 9410 was a five shot, 2-inch group, at 50 yards with 410 Remington Sluggers. I was at the range shortly after getting the 9410, there primarily to sight in my muzzle loader, but I had bought some slugs for the 9410 and figured I would give them a try just so I could say I gave it a try. I was mainly going to use my 9410 for squirrel and rabbit. When I bought it I really didn't think I was going to hunt deer with it, at least not to seriously, but I thought I would at least play with slugs and see what they would do. It looks and feels just like a Win 94 in 30-30 and even has a side loading gate (a big draw for me) but chambered in the 2.5 inch 410 shotshell. So when Winchester introduced the Win 9410 I got real interested and ended up buying one. I wanted to hunt deer with a lever action, but I live in a shotgun only state so 99.9% of all lever guns were out (the Winchester 18 being my only options that I knew of at the time). I am hoping he gets that project up and going so I can give them a try.Īs for the 410 slug I came to it in a very long route.
