Ah, but what about Hornady's new H2K Heavy Mag slug load, 12 gauge 2 3/4", 300 gr. XTP ???
Rated at 2,000 fps and 2,664 ft.lbs. (out of a 30" tube) it will still do 1,930 fps out of a 24". Their reported trajectory (again out of their 30" test tube) with a 150 yd. zero is 2.5 high at 100 and 6.5 low at 200. 150 yds. is a dead on hold and with good range estimation, 200 should be no problem. Hornady's load data for the 45-70 in Marlin lever actions (not to be used in trapdoors or replicas, pressures are too high) only show 2 loads that will get their 300 grain bullets up to 2100 fps.
