Now you went an done it!  You know folks are going to get on here and say it can't be done!  Its all smoke and mirrors. The 45-70 is marginal for jackrabbits!  If you're going to Africa you need:  I love the 45-70, thanks for posting and stirring the pot!  *we band of 45-70ers* USAF AMMO Retired! | |||

I am curious to see if the 2.3" version of the 45-70 can get to 2150 with 400 grainers...you see here that @ 43,500 cup he is getting almost 2100 with 430 grainers so 2150 seems obtainable. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.

I thought 40k was max pressure for a marlin? Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too! Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.  | |||

Tyler, IIRC 40,000 psi = 43,500 cup. But if you get a real gun like my 1885 Browning or a Ruger #1 then you can go up to at least 50,000 psi.Thicker cases for this are available somewhere. I haven't tried those loads since they don't have cape buffalo or elephant here in NY !!  | |||

Gentlemen, Is no one else concerned about this blatant posting of copyrighted material? We all complain about the slipping quality of the gun magazines, but when they do write a good article, we steal it from them? It is hard to expect them to get better unless they are paid for better material. If you want to read the article, buy the magazine! I sent the forum manager an email about this over a week ago, and have not heard a peep from them. Stepping down... Andy | |||

The back issue is available here for $8.00. I think they offer it as a single issue on cdrom, but you'd have to call them. Yes, please remove the article. Thanks, Andy | |||

I think this thread has gone over the top in political correctness...can't print an article? c'mon it's an old article. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

Absolutely Not! Brian Pierce's article has several errors, the "43,500 CUP" loads being one of the worst. It appears that when comparing his "43,500 CUP" loads with published reloading data that the loads are more likely 40,000 CUP. 40,000 CUP is approximately 42,732 PSI. 40,507 CUP is approximately 43,500 PSI. You learn something new everyday whether you want to or not. | |||

So, you think its alright to steal? Should have known. The article is not old by publishing standards, it actually is only months old and still available as a back issue. If it were no longer available from any publishing source, then yeah, I'd say it's alright to reproduce it. But it is certainly stealing to reproduce it here. You learn something new everyday whether you want to or not. | |||

I have an subscription, that way I can save it. I don't even buy the paper copies anymore. I guess I didn't even think anything about the copyright thing. To be honest, Handloader and RIfle magazine are the few that I actually read anymore. *we band of 45-70ers* USAF AMMO Retired! | |||

Mete, you have it backwards on the psi vs cup. 40cup is appx. 42800 psi | |||

I did not think the article posted here caused any damage to the magazine. In fact, it has given them quite a lot of free advertizing, as those reading the article, might consider buying the magazine or subscribing to get more of them. Some of our own articles, photos and videos are posted on literally hundreds of other websites. We have to accept this as part of being on the Internet. We would remove any article, if askeds, by the copywright holders. | |||

I buy a dozen subscritions for hunting shooting and motorcycle magazines for The Local VA.I know that the guys there pass them around.Is that stealing.No,no more than sharing info from a source is here.Now if The Article was being sold for a profit,that would be theft.My 2 cents  OB | |||

Wow! What a lines of dialogue this question started. Go to Garrett's web site. He has had excellent success with his loads in Africa. "When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all." Theodore Roosevelt | |||
