You should still be able to push a 200 or even a 300 grain bullet to around something comparable to a 450 marlin,right?
I don't know?

the ballistics of a 450 marlin with a 350 grain bullet.






.450 MarlinĀ®
350
FP
2,100
3,427

the .45 caliber muzzleloader with a powerbelt and a 240 grain XTP just does not come close in velocity to the big 350 grain bullet. And I am sure they would not be near the 3427 energy level but could be close...



275. Gr. Power Belt

Two 45 cal. / 50 Gr.
