I have a Marlin CC in 45ACP. Its a blast to shoot, I have taken it deer hunting a couple times. Both times I use a +P Golden Saber and they killed DRT both times. Thru and thru penetration at under 50 yards.
I I have 230g BB TC cast mould, it shoots and loads easy. I dont shoot it too fast, I built the load for my 1911's and did nto alter it for the carbine. I cast my bullets hard.
