Besides the Alaskan Takedown, are there any other lever action rifles that are chambered for .45 Colt and can shoot high pressure loads? I know the Rossi 92's don't.
That's what Rossi says on their website. If any handloads or factory .45 Colt with pressures above the standard 14000 are used, it voids the warranty.

The Marlin 1894 action will handle 25k easily but as I said earlier good luck finding one that's affordableAre the Winchester 1892 actions the only ones able to handle hot .45 Colt loads or are their others that can too?
"I know the Rossi 92's don't."
Yes they do......
The 1892, being the 1886's baby brother, is the strongest pistol cartridge levergun action available. The Rossi (and all iterations), Browning and late model Winchester 1892's are not only plenty strong for "Ruger only" loads but are safe to 50,000psi. The Marlin 1894 to 40,000psi. The Ruger Blackhawk, to 32,000psi.Besides the Alaskan Takedown, are there any other lever action rifles that are chambered for .45 Colt and can shoot high pressure loads? I know the Rossi 92's don't.
