Default RE: Need a good load for .450 marlin

akbound,

Thanks for the website. That should get me started. I'll probably consider these max. loads and try to work up to them. Out of the 18.5" barrell, I should be close to 2000 fps.

etw,

Been hunting GA whitetails in the thick brush and feral hogs with the .450. Up until now, I've been using the factory loads, too, without any problems at all except for the recoil. But the misses bought a complete reloading kit with dies, so I got to give it a try. Plus, I have about 200 once fired brass that's just sitting around.

My .450 is setup with a Reddot mounted scout style, which has proven to be a quick-pointing deadly accurate setup for short range (<100 yds). I gotten about 8 whiitetails with it so far.

How 'bout yours?
