Sir Scotty,
If you have a Ruger No. 1 .45-90-2.4",
just give it a SAAMI .458 WM throat and go to town with Starline brass in that strong rifle.
Sir Bob equaled or exceeded SAAMI .458 WM loads with his .45-70-2.1" Long Throat Ruger No. 1.
The .45-70 Elko Magnum of the 1990s, CIP homologated, is actually a .45-100-2.6" case with a .458 WM throat.
I figure they meant 70 grains of smokeless instead of 70 grains of BP in calling it a .45-70,
since they did call it a "Magnum" .45-70, after all.
