My 450 Marlin shoots better than ever using Hendershot’s Extreme Custom Ammunition.

My Winchester 1886 45-70 shoot more accurate with Hendershots ammo. Will definitely order more ammo for all other rifles I Owen. Thanks for quality ammo.

Let me start by saying that Hendershot’s Extreme Ammo is the best I have ever shot, bar none. I started using their ammo when I couldn’t find any decent 444 Marlin ammo, and was amazed by its performance. Well, I’ve moved on to .45-70, and they have continued by producing ammo that is absolute perfection. I bought the .45-70 load using the 295 grain Cutting Edge, as I am a huge fan of controlled fracturing bullets in any caliber (including muzzleloaders) as it produces quick, humane harvests. Anyway, I just zeroed my Marlin 1895 SBL (19.1” barrel) with this ammo today. The max velocity was 2,089 fps and the minimum was 2,053 fps, with an average velocity of 2,070 fps, a max spread of 36 fps, and a standard deviation of 11 fps. I got complete powder burn (unlike the OTC Federal Fusion), smooth feeding, and 1.75” groups. This is amazing ammo, and money well spent, if you want to implicitly trust your ammo to perform, when it counts, and to keep your harvests from unnecessary suffering. What are you waiting for? Order it!

Ordered the Barnes TSX – 300 gr Flat Nose. I’ve only punched holes in paper, but the last 3 shots were touching at 100 yards. I can’t way to take this ammo in the field. Shells arrived as promised (2-3 weeks) and in good condition.
