If you are considering the Spartan Gunworks SPR22 in .45-70, Spartan makes a point of stating that the SPR22 is for SAAMI compliant loads only. Garrett's monster loads are well over SAAMI specs (Garrett's SAAMI compliant load is notably hotter than Win/Fed/Rem offerings.)
I was indeed considering the double rifle you mentioned. Is there anyone that makes a SAAMI compliant load using a 500grn or heavier bullet? I'd think that such a load would still be quite formidable for use on dangerous game such a feral hogs and big cats that are somewhat thinner skinned than a Cape Buffalo. Also, what does everyone think of a Gibbs 45/70 on a Lee Enfield action?
