they say sight it at 150 yards. so +1.8" at 100, 0' @150 and -2.4" @200.
That sounds about right.
Looks real nice, they have a 6mm creedmoor also, it sounds like a nice alternative to the 243. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/products/americanRiflePredator/specSheets/16948.html. I have several of these guns and they perform real well.
My little girl has a Ranch in 223. Nice guns.
That's actually not too shabby! Might look into this round a little further. Nice looking rifle too BTW, short 'n' fat!

Wow, that thing is a monster! Thank you so much Okie4570. Your time in checking this out is greatly appreciated, and I'm sure Ill keep coming back to drool over these numbers! Lol. Sounds like a pretty awesome hog round!
Thanks Okie. Thats some good info. I heard it compared to the 444 before. I promise you feel every lb-ft of energy with that 450 Marlin.
I load a 270gr Gold Dot soft point for my Ruger Carbine in 44 mag. I wonder what the energy numbers are on it.
I load a 270gr Gold Dot soft point for my Ruger Carbine in 44 mag. I wonder what the energy numbers are on it.
I did a bunch of reloading for a friend in Stillwater when the .450 Marlin first came out. I don't think the round is punishing, but that round in a lever action is not forgiving. It a bolt gun it would be so much better, which I think the .458x2" was when it was created way before the .450 Marlin which is the same thing.
The .444 Marlin is just really hard to beat.
