Default RE: the 45-70 thing again

I doubt if you can buy any ammuntion loaded this stiff, but in certain .45-70 rifles (Marlin and Ruger #1/3) you can handload a 300 grain bullet to around 2100 fps safely. The 150 grain pyrodex pellet loads are going about 1950 or so with this bullet weight in the muzzloaders - so they are pretty close for performance.
