    45-70 vs 458 penetration

    Put on some safety glasses,put one on the garage floor and smack it on the nose with a 3lb sledge. If it doesn’t shatter, you’re probably good.

    45-70 vs 458 penetration

    The Linebaugh Pentetration tests used bovine bones and wet newspaper. Hard cast 45-70 is a powerful tool.

    I read on another forum that someone was in contact with Ruger Brass about the issue. No resolution at the moment, but hopefully soon.

    Ruger info to be aware of

    Ruger has had that policy for a long time as I recall. Like decades. If it wasn’t original it had to be put back before return. Same with the hammer drop safety on single actions. If it came in for service, it would be returned with the safety “upgrade “.

    Northfork VS Swift?

    Just to add one more piec of anecdotal evidence for the Woodeleighs…I loaded the 310 RN in my 35 Whelen AI and drove it through 4’ of water jugs. Velocity was right at 2100fps. Cracked the back of the 8th jug. Video

    S.A.A.M.I Reference Ammunition

    Not necessarily more care, but the exact velocity and pressure of that lot is known, so that when you shoot it on your setup, you can make corrections to insure you test equipment produces correct results. Could be higher or lower than spec, but it is known.
