Author Topic: Shot a 450 Marlin Katahdin Barrel Today (Read 672 times)

This is my first buffalo class caliber.

Wow :grin:

I got it fairly well dialed in today at 100 yards using 18 rounds. The Kick Eez pad made for the Encore works great. I am sure it is the only reason I could shoot this shoulder cannon.

I shot the 350 grain Hornady factory ammo. It is supposed to come out the 18" barrel at 2000 fps. I put a small 1X4 20 scope on it. It is a small and light package.

Its going Elk hunting with me this October.

Oops, corrected that 1000 yards to 100 yards. :oops:

Now you're set up for all those buffs charging at you from 1000 yards.....

Did you mean 100?

Thanks for the correction, I have done a few typo's on this site also. At
first you had me worried, I have a .450Ultra & I was afraid that I could not
find a scope base with enough taper to be competitive & I knew I would
need a bigger scope!

Anyway, good luck with your 450 & your Elk Hunt! I do want to ask you
about the muzzel blast with the short, ported barrel as I would like to get
one of these in 444 for my Encore if I can find one.
