I'm currently out of the .45-70 biz (waiting to see what Ruger does with the Marlin rifles) ... in the past I had 2 loads I used a lot. 52 grains of H4895 and Speer 400 grain flat points shot well under MOA. 47 grains of 3031 with 425 grain RCBS gas checked bullets shot around 1-1/4" at 100 yards. For that matter, Remington 405 grain factory ammo shot sub MOA in every Marlin lever action I tried it in.

Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.
