I see alot of threads that say you should not shoot "hot loads" in a 1873 due to the toggle link. I have not yet seen what the defintion of what a hot load round is. Doing some research I have seen some 45lc cowboy action ammo that is 200 and 250 grains that travel 636 to 760 FPS. I also see some other 45 lc rounds that are rated at 850 to 920 FPS, are these too high? Should a repro 1873 stay in the 636 to 760 range or could you shoot 850 to 920 with confidence that it will not destroy the toggle link?
