Just wondering is all....I know that there are a lot of older designed rifles out their that are still being used but most modern 45-70 cal rifles like the Marlin 1895 , Winchester 1886 modern version , Ruger no. 1 , Winchester & Browning Hi Wall single shots , etc. can easily handle higher pressures and they could put warning labels against using the ammo in old trapdoors and such ! It be no different than other cal rifles or handguns that are either okay with +P ammo or not ! I'd also like to see more bullet weight options....some major ammo makers seem stuck on the 300 grain load which is fine but again more options would make the 45-70 more versatile and I think more popular ! Sorry about the rambling....I just like this cal. a lot and yes , the best ammo comes by handloading but I don't always have the time and you might need to pick up a box while on a hunting trip sometime ! The specialized ammo makers offering hot 45-70 ammo is priced high so maybe more competition would help lower the price or at least offer more available options !
