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
Why just dance when you can "rock and roll".
STONER 63A ( MK-23/XM-207 )
XM177E2
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.
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.
