I guess I don't understand. Who is suggesting that the maximum load or velocity for the 45-70 in Marlin 1895 in the Hodgdon data be exceeded? Why would the prudent person do so? Why is the Marlin 1895 45-70 any different than any other rifle/cartridge combination when it comes to following accepted reloading practices and published load data?
