.45-70 Govt.

I had some free time after work the other day, so I put these together. 150 shoulder smashing rounds of .45-70 with a 405 gr. powder coated homemade cast bullet sitting on 38.5 gr. of IMR 4198.

That's a lifetimes worth of hunting rounds. The color makes them look like plastic bullets.

What are you shooting them out of?

I have a 1895GBL Marlin that I hunt hogs with....

They plink well in small quantities. They are devastating on hogs, though. Superb killers.
