Re: Resisting temptation

I myself just traded a AR15 for a 2006 JM 1895 Marlin cowboy in 45-70Goverment. It has the octagonal barrel in 26 inch barrel length. I managed to find 3 boxes' of Bullseye 405 gr. lead flat point. I only put 20 rounds thru it so far. It's the first 45-70 I've ever had and I'm enjoying it very much....
