Your only starting to get going velocity wise, this is from the adi manual they gave 3 levels of load ole actions, 1895 lever and single shot. Or manageable, very stout and ring the chiropractor. I...

Yeah I've never heard of any such thing as 45/70 +P. As akaroa1 says, there's already multiple tiers of 45/70 data. If trapdoor loads are the baseline, then lever action loads are already +P and...

Yeah it's a pretty well standardized with many pistol cartridges e.g. 45ACP has a limit of 21,000PSI and 45ACP +P is has limit of 23,000PSI. There is 257 Roberts (54,000PSI) and 257 Roberts +P...

Not a sales gimmick, standard SAAMI spec ammo for 45-70 is kept below 28000psi, to avoid damage to old trapdoor rifles. The +P loads are simply loaded to full potential ie, marlin levergun 40000psi...

looking at the manual...a 350 at just over 2000fps is top of bottom teir so hot enough to cause issues in old weak action but should be fine in anything modern..but we all know each rifle is...

The reloading manuals have the numbers you're looking for. I load 48grs of 2207 behind the 350s for 1950fps, plenty of smack for me and 6grs less than book max. Plenty of room for a +P load above...

Im new to the 45/70 but love it. I dont think the +P loads are necessary but each to their own. They will kick a bit. Lastnight i was shooting a gong out at 200yds with the 350gr Hornady RN @...

If you don't mind the extra recoil, and have a modern rifle chambered for it (not an old trapdoor or similar), go for it. :thumbsup: The pigs will not know the difference. I loaded 350 cast with gas...

Got a couple of 9.3. Very easy to load for. 2208 is your huckleberry. 58 gns behind a 286 woody. 60 gns behind a 250. These will both shoot very well. Job done. RL15 is substitutable,...

The claim for this is better penetration and less pellet deformation. Lead shot is more "efficient" as the slight deformation of the pellets produces an irregular profile that is better at causing...
