[QUOTE="Chadp82, post: 2937016, member: 114151"] If you look at Hodgdon or other websites you get different levels for 45-70 rifle. Trapdoor, lever, and modern. Make sure to research what your rifle can handle and load in the proper category. The lighter bullets and load offerings are usually for the newer rifles that can handle pressure better due to changes in metallurgy and design. Historically, the 45-70 was slow but delivers mass and a large diameter hole, so is very effective, albeit at shorter ranges than a bottle neck cartridge. [/QUOTE]
