405 gr? I tried the bore sight and scope sight thing at the HHC on the 45-70 and it just would not work. It was ok on the 44 mag marlin but when I decided that I would have Gary do an action job etc. on the 44 mag, I also decided to move the scope to the 45-70. Shot way to many rounds trying to zero it. Finally gave up and just used the iron sights to kill a hog. One shot right behind the ear and bang flop. Now that I know the scope is ok, I am going to try and sight in again. I will do as Gary suggested and go from there. I do have a bunch of brass to reload now and just bought another box of ammo. .458 405 grain flat nosed bullets are hard to find! If I could find some really hard cast GC's bullets already lubed and ready to load that would be perfect. If not, I may have to learn how to cast my own and that would entail finding a mold, handles, casting mixtures and lubing etc. I can see that costing way more than I can afford to spend right now. Soooo, a couple of boxes of the right bullets and I will be good to go. Just gotta find them.
