4570 GOVT Hard Cast VS Hollowpoints - HOW MANY MILK JUGS??? 

45-70 is one of the few calibers I feel comfortable with in a single-shot rifle. Because if you need to hit something with this more than once, you're probably screwed anyways.

Hey a 405gr Hard cast just went by house in North Pole, Alaska :)

Got to love a Marlin 45/70

That is the Cadillac of rifles. I need a 45-70 in my life. Glad to see Marlin took care of the issue you had with it. Great video. Can't wait to see what you got next for us

That was freakin awesome! Some things are just fun. Can’t stop laughing. Thanks man.

"Let's see how many it stops to take to stop it" lol

In 1988 I ordered a TC CONTENDER from the custom shop at TC, chambered in 45-70. It has a 16 inch barrel and is Magnaported. I have taken 17 Whitetail deer with this gun in the 31 years. I first used the 405 gr. Remington round. But as you can guess, it penetrated too much. Since then I have used Remington 325 gr. hollow points. I have never had to track any of these deer. They all just dropped in their tracks. There is a 2× Leopold long eye relief scope on it that I bought when I bought the barrel. The scope is as good as new, even with all of the recoil that it has taken with this round.

As always,you deliver the best video’s on you tube! Thank you once again for delivering the best ballistic tests of firearm calibers! You are the best teacher of what different calibers preform no matter what the platform is.! My hats is off to you!!! The 22-250 test is still waiting for you to show the world hydrostatic shock on impact and how much destruction this round has on impact up to 600-700 yards..you are the best firearm teacher of bullet effects and results on you tube that I ever seen! Great job!

Santa bought me a Marlin 1895 this year. Your videos are tiding me over until the local range reopens now that the holidays and deer season are winding down. So thank you for that.

Great video as always. Just got myself that exact rifle, and it's a beast. Love it! Keep 'em coming!

Using this video to explain to the boyfriend why I want another lever action, and that even though I have a Marlin 1894 in .44, I still need an 1895. Wish me luck.

When I was stationed at Glasgow AFB FROM 1966 -68 my friend had a vintage 1892 Winchester in 25-20 We used 60 gr hollow points at 2200 fps but we put Vaseline in the hollow point cavity and it really did a job on ground squirrels it really expanded and caused incredible damage we were shooting at about 50 to 70 yds with iron sights

45/70 sure is a hell of a cartridge.👍 Thanks for the video I will be waiting to see the next one😃

That hard cast went through everything!!! Fun video man. I used to do this stuff when I was a kid. I miss it a lot. I never would have bet it'd go through everything

That's awesome! So happy my grandson surprised me on my birthday!!!

0:59 that ant was like "now's my chance to get on the big screen" lol

I was wondering why you bothered with coloring the water in the milk jugs, but I quickly learned that the colored water makes a much more fun explosion! Nice video!

Magnificent video! Hardest is devastating! Does the HSM hardcast have the power and penetration depth of the one you used in your video? This is phenomenal!

I appreciate your endeavors. Don’t leave an air pocket in your jugs though, air can be compressed, liquids can’t. I enjoy your barbing of the safety warriors as well

I got my marlin 45-70 in 1978, love it and still functions perfectly. I also have the 444.

Wow. I already watched the video & predicting the past isn't all that difficult so all I will say is wow. That was more than I expected.

NOW Who tee !!!!That table is called table scraps..Lol. great vid, just making a little humor. Keep them coming.

I’ve been following you since a short time, you really got an interesting videos always, keep up 👍

Love all of your videos. Keep em coming

Best test I’ve seen yet. Great video

Your videos are sure fun to watch...great stuff!!!

Just started the video. My dollars are hard cast for penetration. 45.70 is a great and versatile hunting round. It’s the old school 30.06 IMO, just 30.06 is a newer, ballistic tipped cousin. Hollow points were designed for energy delivery upon impact, some pass through, and some don’t. I’ll edit when I complete the video with my opinion of best round for hunting. EDIT: 🤣 Thumbs up bitches!

I have watched several of you videos now and have now subscribed, really like the way you do your vids almost like I was there doing it myself.

I am the proud owner of a brand new Henry Brass side gate 45-70 rifle. I love this gun. I really enjoyed the review. I now know what to expect from my 405grn hard cast bullets. Maybe some day i will be able to find some hollow points. No matter it is a canon for sure. Great for hunting big game.

Great video! U really had my attention! Those are the cartridges that I use in my 4570 rifles! AWESOME 🤠

Holy cow that was a really fun video!!!! So getting a marlin 45-70 now!!!!!

That round is BEASTLY! AWESOME!

Damn!!! I can't believe I finally got one right. Going shopping for a 45.70!!!

Really enjpying your content! Will be watching more for sure!

Awesome Power..!! I bet that hardcast would make the Hulk say Oouch.. 🙏😎🙏

Always great videos!

Good video, i like it alot. I have been using the marlin .45-70 for many years and it is one of the best rounds at close range. I am glad you are showing this. I get tired of hearing people compare the .45-70 to a shotgun slug. They are definitely different in what they can do. Thanks.

Great Video. Thanks for all your efforts. Very informative.

Good job HOOT,GETTING ADDICED TO YOUR VIDEOS

A 45/70 and a rimfire is all one needs for large and small game. Great video.

Hard cast bullets are no joke. Thanks for filming it. I have an 1895GBL that I am using for deer hunting in Ohio. Thinking about trying out those Hornady rounds.

Great video!

Well sir you just convince me. I have to have a 45-70 now.

I bought that exact gun last year, it was the only lever action the gun store had left (other than really expensive hunting rifles).

Back in the day I used the 45-70 to hunt T-Rex’s for the Space Force.

Great video, I like the 45-70 content it’s not the usual that everyone else shoots

I expected the hunting round to only penetrate 4 jugs. It’s funny how the 405 grain escaped through that small space under your backstop, kind of like a mouse does. It’s the mouse that roared. Another great video!

wie immer ein schönes Video von der Kraft einer 45/70

Hey buddy your videos are getting better and better.. Thanks for the video.

WalMart needs to just sell empty jugs.

I tried them plastic tip things had two perfect shots on a deer don't know where that ammo went but judging by the two foot flame from the end of the barrel the next State I suspect,anyway reloaded with the hollow point hit right where I was aiming so I am staying with the lead hollow points just regular hunting loads.

That was amazing, the 45-70 shoots true, great video btw.

Very, very impressive video! 👍

Absolutely love the 45-70! 😁

First thing noticed was no recoil pad your a brave man. I guessed that you wouldnt catch the cast bullet but i didnt expect it to punch threw in a straight line. Great vid. Thanks HOOTIE keep em coming. Bazooka ?

You love your 45-70. Milk jugs must fear you. You are correct about hardcast penetration but the difference is even greater going through ribs or a shoulder where the expanding rounds dump all their energy upon immediate impact and don't get to guts. The flat nose does not deflect in direction like a sensitive pointed round does. I enjoy your vids. I use 430gr hardcast @ 2150fps. Still hard to beat a 12ga 1 1/2oz rifled slug.- I hardcast and load my own in both loads. You are a lot of fun and info to watch. Keep it up. Thanks, JC

Taking my Marlin 1895 45 70 on a bear hunt next year. Your videos help me make my decision on what bullet to load up. Thanks

Hard to not luv that round it’s a train coming at ya..💯👍

A whole lots a Terminating Power behind the .45-70 , amazing what today's jugs reveled , I had no idea .

I use a 500 grain Buffalo bore round for "bear insurance". Love the gun and the various different rounds. Great video keep up the good work.

I LOVE shooting milk jug experiments! Thanks for posting..........

Does your rifle have microgroove rifling ? If so how does it handle the cast rounds? Cool video btw.

Am I a sicko, as soon as he loaded the 405g I started giggling😁

I just bought a Henry ,45-70. STOKED🇨🇦👍🍻

The 45 70 govt never ceases to amaze me!

Awesome great demonstration

I also am a lover of the 45-70!! I own a Marlin 1895 Cowboy action model 18.5” octagonal barrel, 6+1, Ballard rifling!! This rifle is the best lever gun there is!! It has the perfect length barrel for optimal velocities same as the 24” Cowboy model but much more flickable for brush hunting or home defense!! The 2019 Marlin 1895’s made by Remington are one of the best Marlin’s ever made!! Why? Because the older JM Marlin’s cannot shoot the higher pressure 45-70 bullets made presently because their chambers are too weak and the bolts do not lock up as snugly!!

And now for the comparison that I've been waiting for. I can't see buying the equipment unless I see that it would be favorable and be some kind of an advantage to buy all the equipment for it. Compare one of those 405 gr hard cast that you used in this video to one made with pirodex @ 70 gr with a 500 gr bullet hard cast.

Hey hooter I need some specs to load a 345 lead cast in 4570 I think it will role deer fiercely and 300 grain lead gas checked

Limb saver who tee you'll be so glad you got one believe me. Great vid

Fantastic video !!! Amazing !!!

Dude, Mrs. Who Tee Who called and wants her laundry soap back!

I think it will take 5 to stop,the hard cast, 4 to stop the hollowpoints. Well, I can't always be right!

GOOD STUFF! I want a 45-70 because of you now

Awesome video

Awesome video. You sound like Hank Hill from ‘King of the Hill’. Love the accent. Thanks

I wanted to know how many paper plates that 4570 will go though compared to a desert eagle 44 mag and say a 50 cal DE. I reloaded my 44 with 4227 with 22 grains and 300 lead. I don't have access to a 4570 or a 50 cal so I have no clue how they will compare Wanting to know if this would be adequate for Grizzly or Kodiak in the north

A 430 gr hard cast would be even harder to stop lol.

Man those tipped bullets dump a lot of energy wow ... the hard cast is still flying ... sweet gun

I have the Marlin 1895GBL and it's my favorite levergun in my collection.

Great video! Do you happen to know about how fast that hard cast bullet was going? Was it factory or hand loaded?

Wow, a lot of power!!!

My 45/70 hard cast bullet is awesome for knocking down wild boar does a number on them

I'm a lever gun kind of guy from way back....As in back in the 1960s....If you get the chance to back up to 50, 100, and 150 yards with BOTH rounds from the same rifle you would be doing a lot of hunters a good turn.....And might even get something of a surprise. By the way, give filling milk jugs with sawdust soaked in water a try with the same rounds and rifle at the longer ranges mentioned above for an "interesting" surprise.

Are they factory loads reloads what velocities are they rated for you don’t say

What was the velocity of the hardcast?

I know it would go through all of them that's a lot of power good for being in Bear Country

Buy yourself a Limbsaver and save your shoulder. I have one on my 1895 Cowboy, love that 9 shot tube. Great demo.

Old school for the new school Still stands the test of time NICE!!

What were the ballistics for the 405gr? I recognise the 325gr as Hornardy Leverevolution, but not the hard casts, so no idea of the MV for those. Great video though, love my 45-70.

My absolute favorite gun and caliber

That was really cool. It's hard catching up to you man. I woke up from my coma, and you had a beard, now your all scruffy. Could be the way I'm watching them. I'm still alityle out of it. Still watching u

I just got my Marlin a couple days ago. Hitting the range this week. Can't wait! Been shopping for slings, what kind is that on your rifle?

Fantastic demonstration

NOW, YOU ARE GETTING INTERESTING! 45 70, ANY BULLET, ANY GUN, ANY TARGET! OOOH YEEEAA YUUUHHH!

Just picked up a Henry 45-70. Was wondering if I wanted a hard cast or ballistic tip rounds. And after watching this video....I got both! Thanks for the info

I'm pretty sure you could take down a T-Rex with that cast bullet.

So, .... what were they? 405 gr. hardcast come in flavors from 1100 fps Ultramax Cowboy loads to 2050 fps Grizzly. My favorite shoulder busters are the 2000 fps Buffalo Bore. The 1800 fps HSM Bear Loads are second for 405 gr. mule kicks. The 1300 fps HSM Cowboy Action loads are my favorite overall. I can shoot those as long as my wallet can stand from the Marlin and the BFR, and they're some of the least expensive.

What powder and charge were you using?

Great video! What brand of safety glasses are you wearing?
