The GBL addresses three of the most common changes for the G: big loop, full mag tube and PG stock. If those features are more important to you...
When reloading 45-70 please keep in mind the capacity differences between Starline, Remington and W-W brass. Hornady as well. It may not matter...
I've used the Laser Cast 350 & 300 grain RNFP extensively in my 1895G. I've used Unique to run both the 300 & 350 at ~1100 fps, great fun to...
I'm gonna stick by my earlier answer. For the 390g RN you can use the 405g PB data from Accurate up there in my link. (or kick it with 12g of...
.458 might work OK but a .459 or .460 would be my preference in an 1895G. H4198 or Rx7 are great powders if you want to launch them at modern...
I've used a Williams 5D on both my Marlin 1895G and 1894 44RM. Was able to keep the stock front sight and hood with both. I like the 5D because...
The Remington 300g HP will leave you with good standard brass and run ~1525 FPS for you. The 405g load will run ~1100 FPS. I started with those in...
I like the Accurate low pressure data with 5744. The link is to an earlier post with the data sheet. Have fun slinging those big bricks!
Nice setup! A marlin and a 2.5x20mm is a great combo. I went with Weaver for mine. A K2.5 on the 1894 and a V3 on the 1895G. [ATTACH]

Concur with CraigC, I've pushed 240g cast with 19.5g of 2400 with good results. Crimp 'em good.
I contacted them in 2009 via email and asked them for the last refresh of their load data. At the time it was 2004 for 45/70 and 44 Rem Mag. I'd...
I use 2400 to push the same XTP to 1740 fps in my Marlin 1894. Great results for me out to ~180 yards on deer and medium sized pigs so far. I...
Now that I answered the OP's question maybe I can deviate a little and agree with the guys saying gas checks aren't necessarily a required item....
Beartooth Bullets Piledriver Lite or Piledriver Jr. are not inexpensive, but you get the quality you pay for with them. Get 'em sized .460 would...
I always load five extra of my starting load for sighting in purposes, if necessary. For 45-70, if I'm starting from scratch with load development...
