I read somewhere that the Marlin 1895 rifles in 444 Marlin and 45-70 are basically the same action. The writers argument was that the 444 action is rated at 44,000 cup that the 45-70 should be safe at the same pressure level. This would imply that the tier 3 loads (ruger #1, etc.) would be safe in the Marlin 1895 in 45-70 caliber.
Any comments as to the validity of this assertion?
I don't plan on trying the above, but was just curious if anyone has any actual test data to confirm or deny the 444Marlin = 45-70Marlin in the 1895 actions as far ae pressure levels are concerned.
Edit: I don't know how the "if"got in the title; just ignore it.
