Is this 45-70 load too much?

So it could possibly be safe in a Ruger #1 or Siamese Mauser Bolt-Action, but definatly not in a 1895 Lever Action? I hope that guy doesn't hurt himself shootin' that load...

Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

If the powder is H4198 it is highly likely to be safe for the Ruger #1 and #3, and the Siamese Mauser in 45-70. It could possibly be safe for the Marlin 1895 45-70.
