You can get pointed TTSXs or other spitzer bullets, to run in a .45-70 #1, so higher speed makes sense from a trajectory standpoint. Any other rifle, like a 1895, I don't see the point of pushing the pressures. I'd say stick to established, "modern lever action loads".

I have started playing with subsonic 410gr Hornadys in the .45-70, so I want to try them on deer & pigs.
