my 45-70 is a Ruger # 1S and when I bought it , I figured the only load to shoot in it was Elmer Keith's memorial load which was a 400 grain really hot. I can assure that this load will bring tears to your eyes and NOBODY will help you shoot them up. if was to go hunting I have a 405 gr sp at about 1500 fps. the load I shoot the most is 18 grains of Unique with a 300 gr hp at 1450 fps and extremely fun to shoot. I have shot probably 3,000 rounds of that load alone in the #1S. any heavier loads are definitely not needed for anything other than PAIN. the 45-70 is a fun caliber so don't ruin the experience by making it miserable or worse
