Greetings Applesmasher If and when you decide to purchase sinterfire bullets will you be dealing in .458 projectiles?
I sure will enjoy reading about the results. I truly do like the punkin chunkin of a 1200fps "Varmint" caliber.

I have owned an 1895CB as well as a Guide gun in 45-70, a Ruger #1 45-70, and the T/C 21" in 45-70. All but the T/C have been sold or traded away.
I miss the Ruger but the Marlin when loaded stout was a real pain to shoot. Not much butt plate back there.
It was swell for the factory stuff.
I have damaged both of my shoulders through the years so the 1200 to 1500 fps loads are made to take care of the freezer meat. I like the way the 405 FP loads let you eat right up to the hole.

I have also owned the 444P and 444SS and enjoyed them but favored the .458 pill.

Keep 'em in the vitals
