Hi,
Just bought a CVA Scout in 45-70 and would like to know what reloading data I should use with this rifle, as you may know most reloading compagny advertized 3 reloadings level: old trap door action , lever action like 1895 Marlin and strong action like Ruger #1. I have a Ruger #1 that I reload since many years and for sure I will not use these reloads. I would like to know what you think.
Thank you

lever action like 1895 Marlin

That is the level I would load to.

Since they chamber it in a bunch of other cartridges including .444 Marlin, I think PD has it right. I didn’t see any magnum rifle rounds to say up to the Ruger #1 level.

It’s probably going to be a handful even at that level.

The Marlin level is what I reload in my Contender handgun. Has worked for 30+ years. No sense stressing your gun.

I Just got info from BPI the CVA owner and they told me to use lever action load for the Scout with no problems at all.
Thank you

Big ole peach pit of a 405 rem and a scoop of h335

save a couple bucks and use 2400.
you'll find your recoil limit with it easy enough at the middle loads.
