Default Ruger Marlin 45-70 trapper

Just picked up this pair today. Consecutive serial numbers so how could I say no?!? These are part of Cabelas Black Friday week sale and they had 12 of them at my local store. Mondays give an additional $120 off if you use your Cabelas card so they were a little over $1000 otd each. Can?t wait to shoot them

I acquired the XS rail with sights for my RuMar Trapper.
Mounted a Burris 2-7X IER optic, using Leupold QR rings.
It shoots my cast bullets very well. Good truck rifle.

Keep posting these and I may just have to figure out how to reload for .45-70!

Loading for the .45-70 is easy. It is like an enlarged straight-wall pistol case.

I just picked up some +p for mine (because it wouldn?t kick enough with non +p).

I wonder how it would do in my Trapdoor, haha!!

I guess that +P makes them go a bit faster...

Some of those generate a bit of recoil.
I?ve loaded a batch using some of that AA2015 (47.5 grains) I got from you some time back. It pushes a 350 grain plated flat-point to 1,650 fps out of my RuMar Trapper. That one is a bit snappy, but accurate. If I had to use the Trapper for a social event, that would be my preferred loading. Trick would be to get multiple bad actors lined up for some serious multi-casualty hole punching.
Would also be fun to load some shot capsules to see what type of pattern one could get.
