The I want a 9mm bolt gun thread got me thinking about this again, and I didn’t want to hijack it.
I originally wanted a short threaded Marlin 45/70 to hunt with 400g+ suppressed sub Sonics. I’m worried about the slower twist not stabilizing a 400-500 cast slug. My next thought was to get a Howa mini action (.556 donor rifle) and have it rebarreled with a 16” tube. I’ve a SiCo Hybrid for the build.
Thoughts?
