For what it's worth, I'm fresh back from a meat hunt with some friends and saw 4 cow elk taken with the Hornady LeverEvolution in .45/70 and the round performed great. All shots were through and through with massive damage in between.

Great looking ammo! Sounds Like you had a great time!

[mr mom]

check your brass on those and let me know if the case length is the same as a reg. 45/70 length case....
my son had some of those in .444 marlin and they were 3/16" shorter than normal brass

I know my marlin shots that ammo really well. Thanks for the report

I;m shooting it in a Winchester 1886 ultralight and I love that little rifle. The buckhorn sights are good, but I'm thinking about a receiver sight. Any thoughts on that? The LeverEvolution cases are shorter than about any .45/70 case you can buy. I'll get the exact length and let you know.

A good peep really helps me out as compared to buckhorn sights.

I noticed the .357Mag cases are also smaller than other factory cases. I am wondering if it's due to the bullet seating depth.

[SwedeSteve]

More than likely !!

I know my 86 shoots better with a reciever sight. Here is a pic of it while my 13 year old fires it, it's original made in 1886 & shoots pyrodex loads.
