From looking at the charges and the velocities it looks like all of those loads are likely consistent with published data. Nice try though. You are obviously limiting the sources you are referring to. Hornady does not say any of its loads are 40,000 CUP. They only say they are held to a 40,000 CUP maximum. As a matter of fact, few, if any, of Hornady's 45-70 loads for the Marlin 1895 exceed 35,000 CUP.
