Can anyone share some load info for 45-70 G with Remington 405 SPs? thanks

If you really want information try the marlin owners forum you'll find all of the info and then some

Joe you did not specify what rifle you have, but in a Marlin I have loaded the Rem 405gr, and the Speer 400gr with 53 gr of IMR 3031 with excellent results.

The speer manual has data on there 400 grain bullet and this can be used for the remington 405

I was guessing by 45/70 G you ment the marlin 1895 guide gun , correct?

yes, its a guide gun and while I'm new to lever guns, this one is a shooter with 300and 350 grain jacketed bullets, more so than I ever expected...just can't find any load infor for the 405s...most everything is listed for 400 gr bullets-Joe
