    45-70

    What is “ Strong Action “? I’m looking at load data and this keeps coming up. I’m wanting to load 350 grain flat point for a Henry 45-70. Any help here would be much appreciated.

    The stronger actions are usually considered the:
    Ruger #1
    Mauser
    NEF Handi Rifle
    Win92
    Reloading manuals are usually divided into three categories for the 45-70Govt. 1.Trapdoor 2. Marlin1895 lever action,and 3. RUGER #1.
    Load as per the Marlin 1895 and you will be ok. --- SAWMAN

    The time zone difference gave me the advantage.
    Back in the day . . . I never could seem to get enough powder in my Ruger #1 45-70 so I had it punched out to 45-90Express. ---> OUCH !! <--- ---- SAWMAN

    Go to Buffalo Bore's site and look through their 45-70 stuff.
    Look through their loads. It gives their opinion of the differing firearms related to the cartridges they suggest of varying velocities and pressures.

    I’ve got 2 Siamese mausers. Those heavy loads are plenty enough for me!

    Sawman, did you forget to list the Winchester 1886 ?
    I have a Perdoselli Winchester 1886/71
    .45-70 and while I have no intention of making it a .458 Winchester Magnum, it is rated as a very strong action. It is also chambered in the .45-90.
