Does anyone here have one?
Can it take the 1886 Winchester loadings, or do you have to stay at Trapdoor listings?

I can't speak to the 45-70, but my compact in .223 absorbed some VERY overcharged factory ammo (sploded primers etc) and laughed it off. They are built solid for sure, I will recommend starting light and working up as always, but I sure wouldn't be afraid to try.....just a head's up, the gases vent out the firing pin hole where the hammer makes contact IF you encounter something too stout, I'll caution glasses here.
 
I think the best thing to do would be to contact CVA regarding how much you can load them. Used to have one in 4570 and it was an amazing rifle, overbuilt and sturdy. When i emailed them a long while back, they said something (honestly don't remember), but i do remember according to my loading book, i remember it being in the middle. It can be above powder puff stuff, but they said they wouldn't hot rod it lile a ruger one or something like that. That being said though i was taking a 405gr lead cast flat nose and was using a relatively stout load. Truth be told, i got tired long before my rifle ever did. I only lowered my loads because i couldn't handle the recoil, the rifle was a champ though!
