I was infering that no reasonable person could handle hot 45-70 and I provided proof to what a bad idea a listed load for modern lever guns.... no tricks no subterfuge, all bad idea.If you are trying to make an argument or infer I am advocating overloading a rifle or using the Ruger #1 loads for a 1895 I am not going to bite. There are published loads for Marlin (lever) rifles in the literature from reputable companies that exceed the original historic loads and the pressure number from the other post that I quoted.
I have run quite a few HMS and BB +P loads through my SBL. The recoil is just not that bad. Why do we need to exaggerate the .45-70 recoil. If you have a specific load that generates too much recoil for you and you have no need for it then do not load it or shoot it, problem solved.
Good day.
The BB 380gnr at 2075 is estimated a 49 pounds recoil. That's stupid.
