I used to have one in .45-70, and you really can load anything you want in those rifles. No need to worry about cycling, etc. I had 2 loads I shot a lot. One pushed a 350 grn hard cast at 1100. The other pushed a 350 interlock at 2050. The full bore .35 whelen is going to buck quite a bit, as did the .45-70. I used iron sights for that reason. I didn't want a frownie face on my forehead.
