I have a new Uberti Trapdoor Springfield Carbine in .45-70. I also have a few boxes of Hornady 325 gr FTX Leverevolution loads for another firearm. Can I shoot these rounds in the Uberti ? I can shoot modern smokeless in this thing if I choose, correct ?

My real intention is to reload with black powder and cast bullets. The very brief manual that came with the carbine also says that the CUP pressure should not exceed 18,000 for black powder reloads, True ?

That manual I mentioned is really brief. I think Uberti is trying to save money !
