Yeah, there's a reason that soft points are generally used in hunting. 
Amazing that a 45-70 made it through 14" of hard wood!

I don't have a mold for 45-70 hollow points, but they are easy to cast.TheGreg said:a high shoulder shot with those would decimate both shoulder sockets and maybe pierce the heart. but unless your marlin is a sub 4" gun at whatever range you hunt, i wouldnt go for it.
oh, and can you cast hollow points?
