It's a bit like the 8x57. The muricans are still scared that someone still has the original 318 cal, the ammo is about 20000psi and 500fps less/slower than the euro stuff. The Euro stuff could be...

Greetings, Yes it is. IMR4064 was originally made by Dupont in the US from about the 1920's and was the go to powder for the .270 for a while until IMR4350 came out. AR2208 has been made by Mulwex,...

Greetings blip, Good point about a new barrel. Those Mohawks are getting a bit long in the tooth for a barrel burner like the .243. On the powders you first mentioned all should be fine with IMR4064...

Reminds me of the " Buffalo Bore" ammo people used for Bear defence, it was hard cast projectiles with a load hotter than normal. It worked well apparatus but it kicked like fuck. No reason to not...

Yeah I've never heard of any such thing as 45/70 +P. As akaroa1 says, there's already multiple tiers of 45/70 data. If trapdoor loads are the baseline, then lever action loads are already +P and...

Yeah it's a pretty well standardized with many pistol cartridges e.g. 45ACP has a limit of 21,000PSI and 45ACP +P is has limit of 23,000PSI. There is 257 Roberts (54,000PSI) and 257 Roberts +P...

Not a sales gimmick, standard SAAMI spec ammo for 45-70 is kept below 28000psi, to avoid damage to old trapdoor rifles. The +P loads are simply loaded to full potential ie, marlin levergun 40000psi...
