I picked up a box of Hornady #4504, 500 gr, .458 Interlocks today. Does anyone have an 8th Edition (or older) Hornady manual that would be willing to share the .45-70 data for these bullets? I intend to load them in a Shiloh Sharps, so the Ruger #1 data is what I need.
 
This is all I could find on loaddata.com

This data was shot by Brian Pearce, Wolfe Publishing Company. Gun: Ruger No. 1; barrel length: 22 inches; case: Starline; primer: Federal 210; bullet diameter: .458"; 350 GR Hornady RN COAL: 2.550", 350 GR Hornady FP COAL: 2.545", 500 GR Hornady DGX & DGS COAL: 2.925"; maximum COAL: 2.925"; maximum case length: 2.105"; trim to length: 2.095".

Zombies, of course. But, who knows, maybe the occasional T-Rex.

On a serious note though, I'm mainly experimenting with what my Sharps can do. I've only shot light loads through it so far, with the exception of my 325 gr hunting load from my 1895.

Thanks for the great info and also for the website.

Don't get too excited, the best 45-70 loads for Ruger #1's are still 300-350 fps slower than 458 WM and over 500 fps slower than 460 WBY. When fired from more common lever guns, and loads safe for them, 45-70 is about 500 fps slower than 458 WM and 700 fps slower than 460. The 45-70 is a decent cartridge for deer, elk and moose, but it isn't nearly as potent as the hype generated on the internet.

I have little doubt the loads OP is fooling with will go end to end on a moose. Useful if you need to take the Texas heart shot, ya know.
