Yesterday evening, reload after first range test...!
After a day at the booth, I had to rebuild the stock of ammunition, and these tests allowed me to verify that the reloads were correct ...
50 m ( 47.2 yards) range ,
first real test of the marlin 1895 SBL and red dot :
my friend,
use a browning Maral cal. 30-06 Springfield.
it grows hard enough to be disheveled when you're next to it
inside the range :
Reclining at 100 & 200 m (94.4 & 188.8 yards)
in 4 rounds he adjusted his optics :
not bad for the first time ...
jI had more trouble with my red dot, I focused mainly on reloading tests and without long sight to control at 100 and 200 m, very hard ...
About 25 clicks, 12.5 Moa, to adjust to 100m
I did not have a lot of time to do the photos, too eager to shoot for the first time with my rifle.
next time I'll do some 200m outdoor pictures
Approximately 50 ammunition fired so last night, reload!
Tools, (at least part of it)
I use test tubes for powder doses, very convenient!
at a glance to control all the loads, and the diameter of the tube is exactly that of the cases 45-70, practical to put them in ... three series,
one of 405 grains hard cast loaded in 40 grains IMR 4198
one in 330grs HP in 37.5 grains
one in 405 grains, less loaded in 37 grains
Overall length at 2.55
next day at the range 200m in December, I hope ...
friendly,

Very nice work, BruniX.
Those lined-up reloads look great. And what a cool idea using test tubes for powder drops and that the container size matches the 45-70 brass so well.
Thumbs up...You've pulled it all together!

Good luck...but I've got a question or 2///How do you get 47 yds for 50m??? It's approx 54yds...100m is approx 109yds and 200m is approx 218 or so...

Great job! .45-70 is a great one to load for. Haven't tried IMR 4198 powder yet as I have a bunch loaded with IMR 3031 and some plinking loads with 13-14 gr. Unique. The Marlin 1895 GS is a fine and handy rifle for .45-70.
